The next service due date is displayed either in days or in miles, depending on your driving style. Once the suggested service term has passed, the symbol and message appear for approximately 30 seconds and a signal sounds every time when turning the electronic key in starter switch to position 2. The service indicator disappears automatically after 30 seconds or if the knob for instrument cluster illumination, see page 84, in the instrument cluster is pressed. Calling up service indicator manually: Turn the electronic key in starter switch to position 1 or 2. Call up the trip odometer and main odometer by pressing button è or ÿ on the multifunction steering wheel until the display appears. See page 94. Press button j or k until the FSS indicator appears. The next or previous system is displayed by pressing button è or ÿ. Important! The FSS indicator is not an engine oil level indicator. See page 127 for engine oil level indicator. Note: 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 operating normal temperature, reduce the interval between services.
