Flexible Service System (FSS)
The FSS permits a flexible service schedule that is directly related to the operating conditions of the vehicle.
The symbol
or
appears in the main odometer field 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 it can
be canceled manually by pressing button 0. Once the suggested term has passed, the message plus symbol
or
,
preceded by a - (minus symbol) blinks, when turning the electronic key to position 2. The FSS display can also
be called up for approx.10 seconds with display illuminated by pressing button 0 twice. Following a completed 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
2
3
. Turn electronic key in steering lock to position 2.
. Within 4 seconds press button 0 twice.
. 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: 15000 km).
5
. Release button 0. If the FSS counter was inadvertently reset, have a Mercedes -Benz dealer correct it.
Notes:
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 dealer. The interval between services is determined by
the kind of vehicle operation. Driving at extreme speeds, and cold starts combined with short distance driving in which
the engine does not reach normal operating temperature, reduce the interval between services.
Model C 230:
The FSS allows for distances between 10 000 miles (Canada: 15 000 km) and 15 000 miles (Canada: 22 500 km),
or from 365 to 730 days between services.
Models C 280 and C 43 AMG:
The FSS allows for distances between 10 000 miles (Canada: 15 000 km) and 20 000 miles (Canada: 30 000 km),
or from 365 to 730 days between services. However you choose to set your reference numbers, the scheduled
services as posted in the Service Booklet must be followed to properly care for your vehicle.
