It's like a full blown inspection. Similar to BMW inspection 1 and 2. As your car ages, the scope of the service will expand (as will the price of the service). For newer cars, all they'll really do is change the oil, wiper blades, and top up your ww fluid, as citron said. Older cars will get brake fluid fluches, coolant flushes, etc, thrown into the mix to ensure proper maintenace is being carried out. You should have gotten a seperate book with your owners manual that goes over the speicifics of each service.

It will go back to A. MB service rotates between the two. A is the smaller of the two.

I guess MB changed things. I got one in my packet along with the owners manual. Oh well, no biggie...

Wait for the FSS to go off before making an appointment. From there you can discuss with your service advisor the work they will be doing. Since you've had some stuff done already, they may just do an oil change and be done with it.
