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.
• Once after 8000 km / 5000 miles.
• After 24 000 km / 15 000 miles
and thereafter every 24 000 km /
15 000 miles, but at least once
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
MERCEDES-BENZ.
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

order from your MERCEDES-BENZ

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

you when the next maintenance ser­
vice or lubrication service is due.
