Notes
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
