Service messages
Information on the type of service and service intervals (see the separate Maintenance Booklet).
You can obtain further information from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or at http://www.mbusa.com (USA only).
The ASSYST service interval display informs you of the next service due date.
If a service due date has been exceeded, you also hear a warning tone.
The multifunction display shows a service
message for several seconds, e.g.:
Service A in 99999 Miles
Service A Due Now
Service A Exceeded By 99999 Miles
Maintaining the time-dependent service
schedule:
► Before disconnecting the battery, note
down the service due date displayed.
or:
► After reconnecting the battery, subtract
the battery disconnection periods from the
service date shown on the display.
The service interval display should not be
confused with the engine oil level
display.
The symbol and the letter indicate which type
of service is due:
Minor service A
Major service B
The ASSYST service interval display does not take into account any periods of time during which the battery is disconnected.

Points to note
Arduous operating conditions or increased loads on the vehicle will require some service work to be performed more often than for a vehicle in normal use. Such arduous conditions include regular city driving with frequent intermediate stops and use in mountainous terrain or on poor road surfaces.
For example, if the vehicle is used under arduous operating conditions, have air filters, engine oil and oil filters changed frequently and check the wheels often. Further information can be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
