lead to increased wear and damage to the
majorassemblies or the vehicle.
Aq ualified specialist workshop, e.g. an author-
ized Mercedes-Ben zCenter, will reset the
ASSYS TPLUS service interval display after the
service work has been carried out. You can also
obtain further information on maintenance
work,f or example.
Specia lservice requirements
The specified maintenance interval takes only
the normal operation of the vehicle into
account .Under arduous operating condition sor
increased load on the vehicle, maintenance
work must be carried out more frequently, for
example:
Rregular cit ydrivingw ith frequent intermediate
stops
Rif the vehicle is primarily used to travel short
distances
Ruse in mountainous terrain or on poor road
surfaces
Rif the engin eisoften left idling for long periods
Under these or similar conditions, have, for
example, the air filter, engin eoil and oil filter
replaced or changed more frequently. Under
arduous operating conditions, the tires must be
checked more often. Further information can be
obtained at aqualified specialist workshop, e.g.
an authorized Mercedes-Ben zCenter.
Driving abroad
An extensive Mercedes-Ben zService network is
also available in other countries. You can obtain

Tire and LoadingInfor matio nplacard
:Recommended tire pressures
The Tire and Loading Informatio nplacard is on
the B-pillar on the driver's side (
Ypage 271).
The Tire and Loading Informatio nplacard con-
tains the recommende dtire pressures for cold
tires. The recommende dtire pressures ar evalid
for the maximum permissibl eloa da nd up to the
maximum permissibl evehicl espeed.
Tire pressure table
The tire pressure table is on the insid eofthe fuel
fille rflap. It shows the tire pressure for al ltires
permitted at the factory for thisv ehicle; see
illustratio n(example).
The tire pressure table contains the recommen-
de dp ressures for col dtiresfor various operat-
ing conditions, i.e .differin gloa da nd spee dcon-
ditions.
If at ire size precedes atire pressure, the fol-
lowing tire pressure informatio niso nlyv alid for
thatt ire size; see illustratio n(example).
The load conditions "partiall yladen "and "fully
laden" ar edefine dint he table for different num-
bers of occupants and amounts of luggage.T he

found on the tire sidewall (

If the tire pressures have been set to the lower
values for lighte rloads and/or lowe rroad
speeds ,the pressures shoul dbereset to the
highe rvalues :

The tire pressures for increased load sand/or
highe rroa ds peeds, shown in the tire pressure
table ,mayhave anegative effect on driving
comfort.
If the tire pressure is not set correctly, thisc an
lead to an excessive build-u pofheata nd asud-
