The suggested recommendations assume that the vehicle owner performs the maintenance procedures himself, as opposed to the work performed at the service station of the DAIMLER-BENZ representative office. While this schedule is based on manufacturer's recommendations, intervals between most procedures can be shortened at the discretion of the vehicle owner, such as checking and changing lubricants and fluids at intervals that maximize engine or drive life. In addition, if the owner of the car is interested in keeping it in a state of maximum readiness for use in case of a possible resale, many procedures can be performed more frequently. We only welcome such an initiative.

The initial service and inspection of a new car must be carried out at a service station of the representative branch of the company in order to fulfill the conditions of the warranty obligation. This verification is free of charge.

There is a risk of injury if the hood is open and the engine is running.

After the engine is turned off, the radiator fan blades may rotate for approximately 30 seconds.

The engine is equipped with an electronic ignition system. Due to the high voltage of the ignition system, it is very dangerous to touch the elements of the ignition system (ignition coil, ignition distributor, high voltage wire, spark plug tips, test connector):

• with the engine running,
• when starting the engine,
• when the electronic key in the ignition switch is in position 2 and when turning the engine by hand.

Opening
