Routine Maintenance/General Information

The MERCEDES-BENZ maintenance system includes all the necessary work which should be performed at regular service intervals if the vehicle is used under normal operating conditions. The MB maintenance system includes four different services as outlined below.

The service sheet shows all of the different procedures that are to be performed for each service. The service sheet also shows how often each service and/or procedure should be performed. Maintenance System Sheets (Service Sheets)

When performing the service, check the box to the left of each procedure (after completion) on the service sheet to indicate that that job has been completed. If you notice that any particular job needs further attention or service, check the box to the right of the job and make a notation on the repair order.
