sary service work has been carried out. You
can also obtain further information on main-
tenancew ork, for example.
! If the service interval displayh
as been
reset unintentionally,h ave the setting cor-
rected at aMercedes-Benz Center.
Have service work carried out as described in the Maintenance Booklet. This may oth-
erwise lead to increased wear and damage
to the major assemblies or the vehicle.
Special service requirements
The specified maintenance interval takes only the normal operation of the vehicle into
account. Under arduouso perating conditions
or increased load on the vehicle, mainte-
nance work must be carried out more fre-
quently, for example:
R regularc ity driving with frequent intermedi-
ate stops
R if the vehicle is primarily used to travel
short distances
R use in mountainous terrain or on poor road
surfaces
R if the engine is often left idling for long peri-
ods
Under these or similarc onditions, have, for
example, the air filter, engine oil and oil filter
replaced or changed more frequently. Under
arduouso perating conditions, the tires must
be checked more often. Further information
can be obtained at aqualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
Driving abroad
An extensive Mercedes-Benz Service network is also available in other countries. You can
obtain further information from any author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Center. Care

damage the surfaces and protective film. H
Environmental note
Dispose of empty packaging and cleaning
cloths in an environmentally responsible man-
ner.

period straight after cleaning it, particularly after having cleaned the wheels with wheel cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause

brake pads/linings, thus drying them. The
vehicle can then be parked. Exterior care
