Condition-Based Service CBS
Principle
Sensors and special algorithms take into account the driving conditions of the vehicle. CBS uses these to provide maintenance recommendations.
The system makes it possible to adapt the amount of maintenance corresponding to your user profile.
General information
Information on service notifications can be dis‐played on the Control Display.
Additional information:
Service notifications, refer to page 163.
Service data in the vehicle key
Information on the service notifications is continuously stored in the vehicle key. The service center can read this data out and suggest a maintenance scope for the vehicle.
Therefore, hand the service advisor the vehicle key with which the vehicle was driven most recently.

If this occurs, have a dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or repair shop update the time-dependent maintenance procedures, such as checking brake fluid and, if necessary, changing the engine oil and the microfilter/activated charcoal filter.
