Service messages
Information on the type of service and service intervals (see separate Service Booklet). You can obtain further information from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or at http://www.mbusa.com (USA only).
The service interval message informs you of the next service due date.
The multifunction display shows a service message for several seconds, e.g.:
Next Service A in .. days
Service A Due
Service A Exceeded by ... days
The letter indicates which service is due. A stands for a minor service and B for a major service. A number or another letter may be displayed after the letter. This figure indicates any necessary additional maintenance work to be performed.
You can obtain further information from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
The service interval display does not take into account any periods of time during which the battery is disconnected.
Maintaining the time-dependent service schedule:
- Note down the service due date displayed in the multifunction display before disconnecting the battery.
or
- Subtract the battery disconnection periods from the service date shown on the display after reconnecting the battery.
The service interval display does not provide any information regarding the
engine's oil level. Observe the notes on the engine oil level ().
