Wear parts

The maintenance computer draws attention to
certain wear parts for inspection but cannot
evaluate the condition of these parts. Only quali-
fied after-sales technicians can determine
whether a wear part needs to be replaced.

Regular checks

In addition to maintenance services, regularly
check (e.g. weekly, when refuelling or before
any long journey):
Oil level – check the oil level of the engine,
R
depending on the vehicle's equipment, using
the oil dipstick or the monitoring system via
the multifunction steering wheel/display. For
further information on measuring the engine
oil level, see the Operating Instructions.
Coolant level – the correct method of check-
R
ing the coolant level is described in the Oper-
ating Instructions.
Brake fluid level – if the brake fluid needs to
R
be topped up, please consult an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Dealer and have the cause
determined, e.g. leakage or worn brake pads/
linings.
Windscreen washer system – if the washer
R
fluid level is below 1/3, the washer fluid level
warning lamp lights up. Top up with an
approved diluted windscreen washer concen-
trate; check operation and wiper blades.

Tire condition and tire pressure – check at
R
least once a month. Information on guidelines

dition and tire pressure can be found in the
