Maintenance Booklet4We want you to enjoy your Mercedes-Benz
SLR. Vehicle safety and operational
reliability are two very important factors
and to maintain them, regular
maintenance services are necessary.
We continuously strive to improve our
product and ask for your understanding
that we reserve the right to make changes
in the periodic maintenance work which is
required for our vehicles. The information
in this manual is accurate as of the press
time. At the time of your scheduled
maintenance appointments with your
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center, the
most current maintenance work
information will be utilized for your
vehicle’s age or mileage. Please check
with your authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center for any changes to the periodic
maintenance work required for your
vehicle.
Your Mercedes-Benz SLR comes equipped
with the Mercedes-Benz SLR
Maintenance System. The Maintenance
System tracks distance driven and the time elapsed since your last service. The
next necessary maintenance service is
indicated in the maintenance service
indicator in the instrument cluster.
Additional work that is not calculated by
the Maintenance System is required at
each maintenance interval. Please refer to
“Additional Work to be Performed” on
page 55 for more details.
Following each service, your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center will reset the
Maintenance System service indicator by
confirming the service items performed.
!
If the Maintenance System service
counter was inadvertently reset, have a Mer-
cedes-Benz Center correct it. Please only
reset if the proper maintenance service has
been performed. Resetting the system without
performing the proper service will result in
engine and/or other vehicle damage not cov-
ered by the Mercedes-Benz New Car Limited
Warranty.
