Maintenance

We strongly recommend that you have 
your vehicle serviced by your authorized 
Mercedes-Benz Center, in accordance with 
the Service Booklet at the times called for 
by the FSS (Flexible Service System).

Failure to have the vehicle maintained in 
accordance with the Service Booklet at the 
designated times/mileage called for by 
the FSS may result in vehicle damage not 
covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited 
Warranty.

FSS will notify you when your next service 
is due.

The interval between services depends 
on your driving habits. A gentle driving 
style, moderate engine speeds and the 
avoidance of short distance trips will 
lengthen the interval between services.
