Special service requirements
The prescribed service interval is based on
normal operation of the vehicle. Service work
will need to be performed more often if the
vehicle is operated under arduousc onditions
or increased loads, for example:
R regular city driving with frequent intermedi-
ate stops
R if the vehicle is primarily used to travel
short distances
R for frequent operation in mountainous ter-
rain or on poor road surfaces
R if the engine is often left idling for long peri-
ods
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 vehi-
cle is operated under increased loads. Fur-
ther information can be obtained at aquali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. aMercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
Driving abroad
An extensive Mercedes-Benz Service network is also available in other countries. You can
obtain further information from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. AdBlue
®

To function properly, BlueTEC exhaust gas
aftertreatment must be operated with the
reducing agent AdBlue ®
.A dBlue ®
is topped
up as part of the service. Under normal oper-
ating conditions, afull tank of AdBlue ®
should
last until the next service due date.
Depending on how and where the vehicle is
used, there may be an increase in the
AdBlue ®
consumption, resulting in the next
service due date being brought forward.
Certain display messages show that AdBlue ®
must be topped up, e.g.: Refill AdBlue at workshop See Own‐ Refill AdBlue at workshop See Own‐
