Can someone post a link to find out what all the service numbers mean. I know someone has already posted it for me once but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere. I've searched and can't seem to find it again.

 

Your car came with a maintenance booklet that covers it.

You can get a replacement from dealer or by calling 800.for.merc

Flexible Service System PLUS (FSS PLUS)

• Evaluates engine temperature, oil level, vehicle speed, engine speed, brake wear, distance driven and the time elapsed since your last service. The interval between services depends on your driving habits.
• Next necessary service is indicated in the multifunction display in the instrument panel.
• Maintenance services will be indicated by showing a service type A (minor service) through H (major service).
• A “+” sign after the service type display indicates that the brake lining thickness must be checked.
