Maintenance Required Lamp/Indicator: Service and Repair

Flexible Service System (FSS)






The FSS permits a flexible service schedule that is directly related to the operating conditions of the vehicle. The symbol appears together with a message in the multifunction indicator 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 message is displayed for approx. 10 seconds when turning the electronic key in steering lock to position 2, or while driving when reaching the service warning threshold. It can be canceled manually by pressing button 0.






Once the suggested term has passed, the symbol plus message "SERVICE ... DUE NOW" appear for approx. 30 seconds and a signal sounds every time when turning the electronic key in steering lock to position 2. The FSS display can also be called up for approx. 10 seconds with display illuminated by pressing button 0 twice within 1 second.

Following a completed A or B service the Mercedes-Benz dealer sets the counter to 10 000 miles (Canada: 15 000 km) and 365 days. The counter can also be set by any individual. To do so:
1. Turn electronic key in steering lock to position 2.
2. Within 4 seconds press button 0 twice.
3. The present status for days or distance is displayed.Within 10 seconds turn electronic key in steering lock to position 0.
4. Press and hold button 0, while turning electronic key in steering lock to position 2 again. The present status for days or distance is displayed once more. Continue to hold button 0. After approx. 10 seconds a signal sounds, and the display shows 10,000 miles (Canada: 15,000 km) for approx. 10 seconds.
5. Release button 0.

If the FSS counter was inadvertently reset, have a Mercedes-Benz dealer correct it.
