vehicle. Such information is available from
either your authorized Mercedes-Benz

disconnection will not be included in the count

the days shown in the maintenance service indi-
cator message or maintenance service indicator

advertently reset, have an authorized

been performed. Resetting the system without
performing the proper service as called for by
the maintenance service indicator will result in
engine damage and/or other vehicle damage not
