Special service requirements The specified maintenance interval takes only
the normal operation of the vehicle into
account. Service work will need to be per-
formed more often if the vehicle is operated
under arduous conditions or increased loads.
This can be the case, for example, when driv- ing frequently in mountainous areas or on
poor road surfaces.
Under arduous operating conditions, the tires
must be checked more often. Further infor-
mation can be obtained at a qualified special- ist workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-
