Resetting the ASSYST PLUS service
interva ldisplay !
If the ASSYST PLUS service interval display
has been inadvertently reset, this setting can
be corrected at aqualified specialist work-
shop.
Have service work carried out as described in the Servic eBooklet .This may otherwise lead
to increased wear and damage to the major
assemblies or the vehicle.
Aq ualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Servic eCentre, will reset the
ASSYST PLUS service interval display after the
service work has been carried out. You can also
obtain further information on maintenance
work, for example.
Special service requirements The prescribed service interval is based on nor-
mal operation of the vehicle. Servic ework will
need to be performed more often if the vehicle is
operated under arduous conditions or increased loads, for example:
R regular city driving with frequent intermediate
stops
R if the vehicle is primarily used to travel short
distances
R for frequent operation in mountainous terrain
or on poor road surfaces
R if the engine is often left idling for long periods
In these or similar operating conditions, have,
for example, the air filter, engine oil and oil filter changed more frequently. The tyres must be
checked more frequently if the vehicle is oper-
ated under increased loads. Further informationcan be obtained at aqualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. aMercedes-Benz Servic eCentre. Driving abroad An extensive Mercedes-Benz Servic
enetwor kis
also availabl einother countries. You can obtain
further information from any Mercedes-Benz
Servic eCentre. Care
General notes

cloths in an environmentally responsible man-
ner.

Do not scrub.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective films
with hard objects, e.g. aring or ice scraper.
You could otherwise scratch or damage the
surfaces and protective film.
! Do not park up the vehicle for an extended
period straight after cleaning it, particularly

pads/linings, thus drying them. The vehicle
can then be parked up.
