Flexible Service System (Fss) - Mercedes-Benz E 300 Operator's Manual

Flexible Service System (FSS)

The FSS permits a flexible service
schedule that is directly related to the
operating conditions of the vehicle.
The symbol appears together with
a message in the multifunction indicator
prior to the next suggested service.
Depending on operating conditions
throughout the year, the next service is
calculated and displayed in days or
distance remaining.
The message is displayed for approx.
10 seconds when turning the electronic
key in steering lock to position 2, or it
can be canceled manually by pressing
button 0.
Once the suggested term has passed,
the symbol plus message
"EXCEEDED BY" appear, when turning
the electronic key to position 2.
The FSS display can also be called up
for approx.10 seconds with display
illuminated by pressing button 0 twice.
Following a completed service the
Mercedes-Benz dealer sets the counter
to 10 000 miles (Canada: 15 000 km)
and 365 days.
The counter can also be set by any
individual. To do so:
1. Turn electronic key in steering
lock to position 2.
2. Within 4 seconds press button 0
twice.
3. The present status for days or
distance is displayed. Within
10 seconds turn electronic key in
steering lock to position 0.
4. Press and hold button 0, while
turning electronic key in steering
lock to position 2 again. The pre
sent status for days or distance
is displayed once more. Continue
to hold button 0.
After approx. 10 seconds a signal
sounds, and the display shows
10 000 miles (Canada: 15 000 km).
5. Release button 0.
If the FSS counter was inadvertently
reset, have a Mercedes-Benz dealer
correct it.
