Additional Recommended Maintenance

Not all conditions are the same! Individual driving habits can be very different, from hard stop and go traffic to easy highway driving.  One thing that stays fairly consistent is our "severe operating conditions".  Here in Arizona we have very hot, dry and dusty conditions that may require more frequent maintenance. Below are recommendations that will help you get the most from your Mercedes-Benz.

• Tire Balance and Rotation Every 5,000 miles: Staggered wheels cannot be rotated.  Regular inspections, pressure checks and balancing will help maximize the life of your tires*.
• Brake Fluid Replacement Every 2 years or 20,000 miles: brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture from the air; this lowers the boiling point that would impair braking efficiency if not replaced regularly*.
• Climate Control Dust Filter Every 1 to 2 years or 10,000 to 20,000 miles: the integrated filter can filter out most particles of dust and pollen. A clogged filter reduces the amount of air to the interior of the vehicle*.
• Engine Air Filter Every 1 to 2 years or 10,000 to 20,000 miles: a clogged engine air filter can rob your engine of power, reduce fuel mileage and cause damage to certain engine components*.
• Transmission Service Every 3 to 4 Years or 30,000 to 40,000 miles: every time your transmission shifts it causes heat and friction that breaks down the fluid causing it to lose its lubricating qualities. This can cause premature
• wear and internal damage*.
   
• Engine Coolant Replacement Every 3 to 5 Years or 30,000 to 50,000 miles: over time corrosion and mineral deposits can build up in your engine's cooling system reducing its ability to keep your engine cool. Once deposits build up it can be very costly to repair*.
