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 mainten­
ance jobs that must be carried out
after the following mileages:
Once after 1300 — 1600 km/
800 — 1000 miles.
After 12 000 km/7500 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 service every
12 000 km/7500 miles, additional
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 pres­
cribed maintenance and/or lubrica­
tion work at the specified intervals
as listed in the maintenance booklet.
Verification of performance of such
maintenance/lubrication work
should be recorded in the spaces
provided in the maintenance
booklet.
The maintenance jobs are described
in detail in a manual which you can
order from your MERCEDES-BENZ
service station.

Severe Operating Conditions

In the case of severe operating
conditions or heavy use mainly in
city traffic or over short distances,
frequent mountain driving, poor
roads, dusty and muddy conditions,
trailer operation, hard and sporty
driving, etc. it may be necessary to
inspect e.g.
the tires
the air cleaner (clean or renew
element)
at shorter intervals.
Any MERCEDES-BENZ service
station will be pleased to give you
expert and individual advice.
