Special service requirements

The specified maintenance interval takes only the normal operation of the vehicle into account. Under arduous operating conditions or increased load on the vehicle, maintenance work must be carried out more frequently, for example: • regular city driving with frequent intermediate stops
• if the vehicle is primarily used to travel short distances
Ruse in mountainous terrain or on poor road surfaces
• if the engine is often left idling for long periods
Under these or similar conditions, have, for example, the air filter, engine oil and oil filter replaced or changed more frequently. Under arduous operating conditions, the tires must be checked more often. Further information can be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
