Maintenance Booklet

We want you to enjoy your Mercedes-Benz
automobile. Vehicle safety and operational
reliability are two very important factors
and to maintain them, regular
maintenance services are necessary.
We continuously strive to improve our
product, and ask for your understanding
that we reserve the right to make changes
in the required periodic maintenance work
which is required for our vehicles.
Your Mercedes-Benz comes equipped with
the
Mercedes-Benz Maintenance
System . The Maintenance System tracks
distance driven and the time elapsed since
your last service. The next necessary
maintenance service is indicated in the
maintenance service indicator in the
instrument cluster.
There are two types of maintenance
services for your vehicle, an (“basic”) A-
service, and a (“extended”) B-service.
Additional work that is not calculated by
the Maintenance System is required at
both A- and B-service intervals. Please
refer to “Additional Work to be Performed”
on page 67 for more details.
Following each A- or B-service, your
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center will
reset the Maintenance System service
indicator by confirming the service items
performed.
!
If the Maintenance System service
counter was inadvertently reset, have a
Mercedes-Benz Center correct it.
Please only reset if the proper
maintenance service has been
performed. Resetting the system
without performing the proper service
will result in engine and/or other
vehicle damage not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
