The suggested recommendations assume that the vehicle owner performs maintenance procedures on his own, as opposed to work performed at a DAIMLER-BENZ dealership service station. Although this schedule is based on the manufacturer's recommendations, the intervals between most procedures can be shortened at the owner's discretion, for example, checking and replacing lubricants and fluids should be performed at intervals that ensure maximum service life of the engine or drive. In addition, if the owner is interested in keeping the vehicle in maximum operating readiness for possible resale, many procedures can be performed more frequently. We welcome such an initiative.

Initial servicing and inspection of a new vehicle must be performed at a representative service station of the company in order to fulfill the terms of the warranty obligation. Such inspection is free of charge.

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 ignition system components (ignition coil, ignition distributor, high tension wire, spark plug caps, 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.
