Additional work
Additional work means any work that is
not calculated by the Maintenance Sys-
tem. This work is listed in the section
"Additional Work to be Performed", see
page 58. This type of work has to be car-
ried out according to the individual vehi-
cle type, due to the specific technical
parameters, wear processes or special
equipment on each different vehicle.
Special service requirements
Brake fluid should be replaced every two
years, preferably in the spring, see page
59. We recommend that you only use
brake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz.
A reminder for the next scheduled brake
fluid replacement is affixed in the engine
compartment.
Maintenance Booklet
Coolant should be checked for the prop-
er concentration before the start of the
winter season (or once a year in hot re-
gions). Have the coolant (water/anticor-
rosion/antifreeze mixture) replaced
every 4 years, see page 59.
Replacement of coolant (water/anticor-
rosion/antifreeze mixture) may be re-
quired more frequently if coolant is not
maintained according to instructions
and/or other than approved anticorro-
sion/antifreeze products for your vehicle
are being used. For instructions on cool-
ant, see "Coolants" in your vehicle Oper-
ator's Manual. For a listing of approved
anticorrosion/antifreeze products for
your vehicle, refer to the Factory Ap-
proved Service Products pamphlet in
your vehicle literature portfolio, or con-
tact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
