safety of your vehicle, we strongly recom-
mend that you have your vehicle serviced
by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center,

covered less than 10 000 miles
(15 000 km) in that time.
The maintenance service indicator will
notify you when the next maintenance ser-
vice is due within the next 12 months or
10 000 miles (15 000 km), whichever
comes sooner.Before the next maintenance service is
due, one of the following messages will ap-
pear in the right multifunction display while
you are driving or when you switch on the
ignition:
Service In .. Days

When the maintenance service is due, the
following message appears in the multi-
function display:
Service Due Now

The maintenance service indicator mes-
sage is automatically cleared after 30 sec-
onds when you switch on the ignition. You

cordance with the Maintenance Booklet and

times/mileage will result in vehicle damage not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited

increased wear of brake pads and brake disks. If
the brake pads have to be replaced multiple
times within one maintenance service interval,
the brake disks must be checked. Observe the
information given in the Maintenance Booklet
and contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
