Maintenance Booklet
Introduction
We want you to enjoy your Mercedes-Benz
automobile. Vehicle safety and operation-
al reliability are two very important factors
and to maintain them, regular mainte-
nance services are necessary.
We continuously strive to improve our
product and ask for your understanding
that we reserve the right to make changes
in the periodic maintenance work which is
required for our vehicles. The information
in this manual is accurate as of the
editorial date. At the time of your
scheduled maintenance appointments
with your authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center, the most current maintenance
work information will be utilized for your
vehicle's age or mileage. Please check
with your authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center for any changes to the periodic
maintenance work required for your
vehicle.

Your Mercedes-Benz comes equipped
with the Mercedes-Benz Maintenance
System. The Maintenance System tracks
distance driven and the time elapsed
since your last service. In addition, it cal-
culates service items that need to be per-
formed and other required maintenance
work. The next necessary maintenance
service is indicated in the multifunction
display in the instrument cluster.
The maintenance services will be indicat-
ed by showing a service type A through
type H in the multifunction display.
Types A through H are classified based on
the estimated time needed to perform the
maintenance service, ranging from up to
approximately one hour (type A) to up to
approximately eight hours (type H).
When scheduling a maintenance appoint-
ment with your authorized Mercedes-Benz
Light Truck Center, always indicate the
service type that appears in the multifunc-
tion display. This will help the Mercedes-
Benz Light Truck Center to schedule your
vehicle maintenance in the most efficient
manner.
