Maintenance concept
Maintenance of the new model series 453 (smart) consists
of requirement-based maintenance (BOW) for the first time.
Here, the age and mileage of the vehicle are taken into ac-
count for the service scopes. In addition, use of the DSB
(Digital Service Booklet) by workshops will also be possible
at market launch in those countries which already offer it for
Mercedes-Benz cars.
Another area where maintenance has been harmonized with
Mercedes-Benz cars is in the changes to "Oil Service Plus"
and "Maintenance". Like Mercedes-Benz cars, smart main-
tenance now also consists of an alternating Service A and
B as well as an optionally available "customer package". The
following fixed maintenance intervals apply, with the excep-
tion of possible country-specific variations in the kilometer
intervals:
• Service A aer 20,000km or one year
• Service B aer 40,000km or two years
Maintenance interval display (WIA)
The maintenance interval display is located within the multi-
function display of the instrument cluster. It shows the remai-
ning distance (in km/mi) or the remaining time (in days) until
the next service. The number of wrenches indicates the type
of service due. The symbol with one wrench means Service A
and the service with two wrenches means Service B.
If a service is due within the next 1500 km or 30 days, the
driver is notified of this on the instrument cluster every time
he or she restarts the vehicle in the form of a wrench symbol
which flashes for 10 seconds. On equipment lines with TFT
display, a text message appears on the screen. Once the
service has been completed, the service interval display can
be reset either using STAR DIAGNOSIS or directly on the ins-
trument cluster.
