Information about Service
The prescribed service interval is based on
normal operation of the vehicle. Service work
will need to be performed more often if the
vehicle is operated under arduous conditions
or increased loads, for example:
regular city driving with frequent intermedi-
R
ate stops
if the vehicle is primarily used to travel
R
short distances
for frequent operation in mountainous ter-
R
rain or on poor road surfaces
if the engine is often left idling for long peri-
R
ods
In these or similar operating conditions, have
the air filter, engine oil and oil filter, for exam-
ple, changed more frequently. The tyres must
be checked more frequently if the vehicle is
operated under increased loads. Further
information can be obtained at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
