sages will appear in the multifunction dis-
play while you are driving or when you
switch on the ignition (example service A):Service A in XXXXX miles (km)

ment cluster (

lengthen the interval between services.

iIf the battery is disconnected, the days

iIf the service indicator was inadvertent-
ly reset, have a Mercedes-Benz Center
correct it.
Only reset if the proper service has
been performed. Resetting the system
without performing proper service as
called for by the FSS will cause the FSS
to incorrectly determine the next ser-
vice interval which will result in engine
damage not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
