The following pages describe when such a
service is required and what procedures are
carried out on your Mercedes-Benz.
With us, your vehicle is in the best of hands. At
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center, you will
find the experience and expertise of over
100 years of vehicle design and manufacture.
Should your vehicle be due for a service, sim-
ply bring it to an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-related systems must be carried
out at a qualified specialist workshop. Also
observe the "Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts"
section in the Operator’s Manual.
iPlease note any maintenance work not
performed or not performed at the speci-
fied interval which results in the failure of
the warranted component(s) or system(s)
in question may not be covered by the
Mercedes-Benz New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
PLUS Package
You may select the optional PLUS package as
a supplement to the basic service. This
encompasses all the simple maintenance
work that you could carry out yourself.
You can obtain further information concern-
ing the servicing of your vehicle from an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Tire rotation
Your vehicle’s tires are a critical component
to overall vehicle performance and vehicle
stability. The useful life of tires will vary and is
proportional to tire type, speed rating, ambi-
ent conditions, tire loading, tire inflation pres-
sure, road surfaces, and individual driving
style, among other factors. Therefore,
Mercedes-Benz recommends regular checks
for wear and proper inflation and, if applicable
to your vehicle’s tire configuration, tire rota-
tion.
Tire rotations can be performed on vehicles
with the same front and rear tire dimensions.
If your vehicle is equipped with the same tire
dimensions, tires can be rotated by observing
a front-to-rear rotation pattern that will main-
tain the intended rotation (spinning) direction
of the tire (on unidirectional tires, an arrow on
the sidewall indicates the intended rotation or
spinning direction of the tire). In some cases,
such as when your vehicle is configured with
staggered sizes (different tire sizes, front vs.
rear), tire rotations are not possible.
If your vehicle’s tire configuration allows for
tire rotation, tire rotation should be per-
formed in accordance with the recommended
intervals, or sooner at first signs of irregular
(uneven) tread wear. Tire rotation recommen-
dations will likely necessitate a tire rotation at
every Service based on Mercedes-Benz main-
tenance intervals.
For your convenience, this Maintenance
Booklet contains a tire rotation confirmation
page on which you can record the date and
mileage when tire rotations were performed
(Ypage 11).
Severe operating conditions
The maintenance intervals have been deter-
mined so that the vehicle, under normal oper-
ating conditions, should operate properly
between maintenance services. Severe oper-
ating conditions may call for correspondingly
sooner replacement of the following items:
RInterior filter
(combination filter) is replaced as called for
by the ASSYST PLUS service interval dis-
play. Under severe dust conditions, or with
the Climate Control frequently operating in
the air recirculation mode, the filter should
be replaced more frequently than indicated
