The symbol shows the type of service. 0099
stands for a minor service and 009Afor a
major service.
The service display does not take into
account any periods of time during which the
battery is disconnected.
Maintaining the time-dependent service
schedule:
XNote down the service due date in the ser-
vice display before disconnecting the bat-
tery.
or
XAfter reconnecting the battery, subtract
the battery disconnection periods from the
service date shown on the display.

Information about Service
Resetting the service display
!Have service work carried out as descri-
bed in the Maintenance Booklet. This may
otherwise lead to increased wear and dam-
age to the major assemblies or the vehicle.
A qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart center, will reset the service interval dis-
play 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
normal operation of the vehicle. Service work
will need to be performed more often if the
vehicle is operated under arduous conditions
or increased loads, for example:
Rregular city driving with frequent inter-
mediate stops
Rif the vehicle is primarily used to travel
short distances
Rfor frequent operation in mountainous ter-
rain or on poor road surfaces
Rif 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
tires must be checked more frequently if the
vehicle is operated under increased loads.
You can obtain further information at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a smart
center.
Driving abroad
An extensive smart service network is also
available in other countries. For further
information inquire at any smart center.

Fuel consumption information
HEnvironmental note
CO
2(carbon dioxide) is the gas which sci-
entists believe to be principally respon-
sible for global warming (the greenhouse
effect). Your vehicle's CO
2emissions are
directly related to fuel consumption and
therefore depend on:
Refficient use of the fuel by the engine
Rdriving style
Rother non-technical factors, such as
environmental influences, road condi-
tions or traffic flow
You can minimize your vehicle's CO
2emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it
serviced regularly.
The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in
the following situations:
Rat very low outside temperatures
Rin city traffic
Ron short journeys
Rin mountainous terrain
Engine oil
General notes
!Never use engine oil or an oil filter of a
specification other than is necessary to
fulfill the prescribed service intervals.
Do not change the engine oil or oil filter in order to achieve longer replacement inter-
vals than those prescribed. You could oth-
erwise cause engine damage or damage to
the exhaust gas aftertreatment.
Follow the instructions in the service
interval display regarding the oil change.
Otherwise, you may damage the engine and
the exhaust gas aftertreatment.
When handling engine oil, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(
Ypage 207).
The engine oils are matched to the perform-
ance of smart engines and service intervals.
You should therefore only use engine oils and
oil filters that are approved for vehicles
with maintenance systems.
Consult a smart center to view a list of
approved engine oils and filters. Or visit the
website http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
The table shows which engine oils have been
approved for your vehicle.
ModelMB-Freigabe or MB-Approval
All models229.51, 229.53
iMB approval is indicated on the oil con-
tainers.
