Maintenance Booklet

4

We want you to enjoy your Mercedes-
Benz SLR 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 SLR comes 
equipped with the 

Mercedes-Benz SLR 

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. 

Additional work that is not calculated by 
the Maintenance System is required at 
maintenance intervals. Please refer to 

“Additional Work to be Performed” on 
page 58 for more details.

Following each 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.
