Engine Compartment - Mercedes-Benz EQS 2021 Owner's Manual

In these or similar operating conditions, have the
interior air filter changed more frequently. The
tyres must be checked more frequently if the
vehicle is operated under increased loads. Fur‐
ther information can be obtained at a qualified
specialist workshop.
The ASSYST PLUS service interval display is only
an aid. The driver of the vehicle bears responsi‐
bility as regards to whether maintenance work
needs to be performed more often than speci‐
fied based on the actual operating conditions
and/or loads.

The ASSYST PLUS service interval display can
calculate the service due date only when the

Active bonnet (pedestrian protection)
Operation of the active bonnet (pedestrian
protection)
In certain accident situations, the actuation of
the active bonnet reduces the risk of injury to
pedestrians. The rear area of the bonnet is
raised by approximately 80 mm.
After being triggered, the active bonnet remains
in the raised position. Limited visibility due to
the raised bonnet cannot be ruled out.
After the active bonnet has been actuated,
pedestrian protection may be limited.
Have the full functionality of the active bonnet
restored immediately in a qualified specialist
workshop.
If necessary, adjust your seat position and drive
carefully to a qualified specialist workshop. If a
safe continued journey is not possible, contact a
qualified specialist workshop.
