directly related to the operating conditions of the
vehicle.
The symbol9 or½ appears together with a
message in the multifunction indicator prior to the next
suggested service. Depending on operating conditions
throughout the year, the next service is calculated and
displayed in days or distance remaining.The message is displayed for approx. 10 seconds when
turning the electronic key in starter switch to position 2,
or while driving when reaching the service warning
threshold.
The symbols and messages indicate the type of service
to be performed:
9Service A
½Service B
One of the following messages will appear in the display
(e.g. Service A):
“SERVICE A – IN xx DAYS”
“SERVICE A – IN xx MILES” (Canada: KM)
“SERVICE A – EXCEEDED BY xx DAYS”
“SERVICE A – EXCEEDED BY xx MILES” (Canada: KM)
“SERVICE A – PERFORM SERVICE”
The next service due date is displayed either in days or
in miles, depending on your driving style.
Once the suggested service term has passed, the symbol
and message appear for approx. 30 seconds and a signal
sounds every time when turning the electronic key in
starter switch to position 2.

When disconnecting vehicle battery for one or more
days at a time, such days will not be counted. Any such
days not counted by the FSS can be added by your
Mercedes-Benz Center.
The interval between services is determined by the type
of driving for which the vehicle is used. For example,
driving at extreme speeds, and cold starts combined
with short distance driving in which the engine does not
reach operating normal temperature, reduce the interval
between services.
