When checking the oil level:
Rpark the vehicle on a level surface.
Rthe engine should be switched off for
approximately 5 minutes if the engine is at
normal operating temperature
Rif the engine is not at normal operating
temperature, e.g. if the engine was only
started briefly, wait approximately
30 minutes before carrying out the meas-
urement
Checking the oil level using the oil dip-
stick
GWARNING
Certain components in the engine compart- ment, such as the engine, radiator and parts
of the exhaust system, can become very hot.
Working in the engine compartment poses a risk of injury.
Where possible, let the engine cool down
and touch only the components described in
the following.
GWARNING
Opening the hood when the engine is over-
heated or when there is a fire in the engine
compartment could expose you to hot gases
or other service products. There is a risk of injury.
Let an overheated engine cool down before
opening the hood. If there is a fire in the
engine compartment, keep the hood closed
and contact the fire department.
GWARNING
The engine compartment contains moving
components. Certain components, such as
the radiator fan, may continue to run or
start again suddenly when the ignition is
off. There is a risk of injury.
If you need to do any work inside the engine compartment:
Rswitch off the ignition
Rnever reach into the area where there is a
risk of danger from moving components,
such as the fan rotation area
Rremove jewelry and watches
Rkeep items of clothing and hair, for
example, away from moving parts
XOpen the engine compartment cover

Information about Service
Resetting the service display
!Have service work carried out as descri-
bed in the Maintenance Booklet. This may
otherwise lead to increased wear and dam-
age to the major assemblies or the vehicle.
A qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center, will reset the service interval dis-
play after the service work has been carried
out. You can also obtain further information
on maintenance work, for example.
Special service requirements
The prescribed service interval is based on
normal operation of the vehicle. Service work
will need to be performed more often if the
vehicle is operated under arduous conditions
or increased loads, for example:
Rregular city driving with frequent inter-
mediate stops
Rif the vehicle is primarily used to travel
short distances
Rfor frequent operation in mountainous ter-
rain or on poor road surfaces
Rif the engine is often left idling for long
periods
In these or similar operating conditions,
have, for example, the air filter, engine oil
and oil filter changed more frequently. The
tires must be checked more frequently if the
vehicle is operated under increased loads.
You can obtain further information at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart
center.
Driving abroad
An extensive smart service network is also
available in other countries. For further
information inquire at any smart center.
