Special service requirements

or increased load on the vehicle,

maintenance work must be carried out more

frequently, for example:

R

regular city driving with frequent

intermediate stops

R

if the vehicle is primarily used to travel

short distances

R

use in mountainous terrain or on poor road

surfaces

R

if the engine is often left idling for long

periods

Under these or similar conditions, have, for

example, the air filter, engine oil 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 a qualified specialist

workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz

Center.

Driving abroad

is also available in other countries. You can

obtain further information from any
