Points to remember
The specified maintenance interval takes only
the normal operation of the vehicle into
account. Under arduous operating conditions
or increased load on the vehicle, mainte-
nance work must be carried out more fre-
quently, for example:
regular city driving with frequent intermedi-
R
ate stops
if the vehicle is primarily used to travel
R
short distances
use in mountainous terrain or on poor road
R
surfaces
if the engine is often left idling for long peri-
R
ods
Under these or similar conditions, have, for
example, the air filter, engine oil and oil filter
replaced or changed more frequently. Under
arduous operating conditions, the tires must
be checked more often. Further information
can be obtained at a qualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Cen-
ter.
