Digital Maintenance Report; Tire Rotation; Regular Checks - Mercedes-Benz Metris 2020 Manual

i
You can obtain up-to-date information con-
cerning the particular maintenance require-
ments and maintenance intervals of your
vehicle at any time from a qualified special-
ist workshop. Mercedes-Benz recommends
that you use an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.

Digital maintenance report

Digital Service Booklet (DSB)
The confirmation for the service and mainte-
nance work carried out is processed in our
central database. You obtain a printout of the
service report, which you retain until the next
service. In addition to the current service
report, the complete service history of your
vehicle is available at any time.
Your vehicle's service data is recorded twice,
thoroughly documented and can no longer be
lost. Every authorized Service Partner can give
you information on your vehicle's service data.
This way you can be helped as quickly as pos-
sible anywhere you are.

Tire rotation

Your vehicle's tires are a critical component to
overall vehicle performance and stability. The
useful life of tires will vary and is proportional
to tire type, speed rating, ambient conditions,
tire loads, tire inflation pressure, road surfa-
ces, and individual driving style. For this rea-
son, we recommend regularly checking wear
and correct tire pressure as well as regularly
rotating the tires, according to the appropriate
tire configuration of the vehicle.
Tires can only be rotated on vehicles with the
same tire size on the front and rear axles.
Tire rotation recommendations will likely
necessitate a tire rotation at least at every
maintenance service.
If your vehicle is equipped with tires of the
same size, tires can be rotated by following a
front-to-rear rotation pattern that will maintain
the intended rotation (spinning) direction of
the tire (on unidirectional tires, an arrow on
the sidewall indicates the intended rotation or
spinning direction of the tire).

Regular checks

Regular checks
Check the following regularly, e.g. weekly,
when refueling or prior to long journeys:
Engine oil level – depending on the vehi-
R
cle's equipment, check the engine oil level
with the oil dipstick or with the checking
system above the multifunction steering
wheel/display. You can find further informa-
tion on measuring the engine oil level in the
vehicle Operator's Manual.
Coolant level – you can find further infor-
R
mation on checking the coolant level in the
vehicle Operator's Manual.
Brake fluid level – if the brake fluid needs
R
to be refilled, consult an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center and have the cause
determined, e.g. leakage or worn brake-
pads.
Windshield washer system – add wind-
R
shield washer fluid that has been mixed with
an approved windshield washer solution/
concentrate. Check the function of the sys-
tem and the wiper blades.
Lighting system
R
Tire condition and tire pressure – check
R
these at least once a month. Refer to the
"Tires and wheels" section in the Operator's
Manual for guidelines and the correct proce-
