Maintenance
The Maintenance System in your vehicle
tracks the distance driven and the time
elapsed since the last maintenance service,
calculates other maintenance service work
required, and calls for the next maintenance
service accordingly.
We strongly recommend that you have your
vehicle serviced at an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center, in accordance with the
Maintenance Booklet at the times called for
by the maintenance service indicator.
i
Failure to have the vehicle maintained in
accordance with the Maintenance Booklet
and maintenance service indicator at the
designated times/mileage will result in
vehicle damage not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
The maintenance service indicator message
will notify you when the next maintenance
service is due.
Starting approximately 1 month before the
next maintenance service is due, one of the
following messages will appear in the
multifunction display while you are driving or
when you switch on the ignition (example
service A):
Next Service A in XXX miles (km)

Service A Due
The maintenance services will be indicated by
showing a service type A through type H in the
multifunction display. Types A through H are
classified based on estimated time needed to
perform the maintenance service, ranging:
from
Service A
