Description of Indicator Based Service [A - H]

Flexible service system (FSS) (service indicator)

Service Symbols:

The FSS permits a flexible service schedule that is directly related to the operating conditions of the vehicle.

The service symbol appears in the main odometer field prior to the next suggested service. Depending on operating conditions throughout the year, the next service is calculated and displayed in days or distance remaining.

The service symbols indicate the type of service to be performed:
Service A
Service B

The message is displayed for approximately 10 seconds when turning the key in steering lock to position 2, or while driving when reaching the service warning threshold.

The message can be canceled manually by pressing button (1).

The next service due date is displayed either in days or in miles, depending on your driving style.

Once the suggested term has passed, the service symbol plus message, preceded by a � (minus symbol) blinks every time when turning the key in steering lock to position 2.

Calling up service indicator manually:
Activate the instrument cluster.
Within 1 second press button (1) twice to call up the FSS display for approximately 10 seconds.

Important! The FSS indicator is not an engine oil level indicator.

Notes:
When disconnecting vehicle battery for one or more days at a time, such days will not be counted. Any such days not counted by the FSS can be added by your Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.
The interval between services is determined by the type of driving for which the vehicle is used. For example, driving at extreme speeds, and cold starts combined with short distance driving in which the engine does not reach normal operating temperature, reduce the interval between services.
