GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The durability, safety, trade-in value and reliability of your vehicle largely depend on
the care you give it. This includes regular service in accordance with the
maintenance schedules specified.
The driving style of the person at the wheel and the care given to the vehicle will
have a direct influence on the condition of the vehicle. The driver can often provide
the dealer with information which is very important for correct maintenance.
Prior to the service intervals and the related activities, contact your authorized
Service dealer.
CAB MAINTENANCE
In order to keep this quality as high as possible, during vehicle use, regular
maintenance should be carried out on the cab surfaces.
To prevent the formation of rust in box sections and other cavities, the cab is
protected with corrosion-inhibiting products (ML) in production.
Due to the setting of the structure, minor bare spots may develop in this
additional protective coating. For this reason, the manufacturer considers it
necessary to have further treatment carried out within a specific period
(consult the warranty manual) after the vehicle has been taken into service.
If this does not happen, the warranty will become invalid.
The relevant warranty conditions are listed in the warranty manual.
