MERCEDES-BENZ Maintenance System
Like any other mechanical equip
ment, the vehicle requires care and
maintenance.
A maintenance booklet is delivered
with your car listing all the main
tenance jobs that must be carried
out after the following mileages.
•
Once after 1300— 1600 k m /
800— 1000 miles.

• After 24 000 km / 15 000 miles
and thereafter every 24 000 km /

every two years.
We would also like to draw your
attention to the hints contained in
the maintenance booklet covering
necessary lubrication services
every 8000 km / 5000 miles, addi
tional maintenance jobs every
48 000 km / 30 000 miles and MB
individual maintenance as required.
Renew brake fluid once a year,
preferably in spring. Use only
brake fluids recommended by

The vehicle must receive the pre
scribed maintenance and/or lubri
cation work at the specified inter
vals as listed in the maintenance

of such m aintenance/lubrication

in detail in a manual which you can
order from your MERCEDES-BENZ

A small sticker attached to the door
post of the driver's door by the
