Service A

Does Service A occur at 12000 miles OR 12 months? When I bought the car, the sales rep told me that it only occured at 12000 miles. Now my car is telling me that Service A is due (12 months)..I only have 7800 miles on it..I read the manual, but it is not clear either.

Sorry for the question, this is my first Mercedes.

I would say it's 12,000 miles or 12 months which ever comes first.

12,000 miles is 19,200 km. For us Canadians, the service intervals are every 20,000 km. When I had between 19,200 and 20,000 km on my car, I got the message the car exceeded the Service A by x00 miles when I had the readouts displayed in miles, but Service A is due in x00 km when set to display in km.

You don't drive much.

My office is 6 miles from my house...good that I don't rack up miles, bad that I don't use the car too much

In our case, it was 8500 miles.

And I think the manual couldn't be clearer about this.

No big deal....
