How is Mercedes-Benz Service Different for 4MATIC® AWD?

The Mercedes-Benz service you’ll find here at Keyes European is explicitly tailored to your needs. We make it easy to protect, maintain, and upgrade your vehicle, no matter the year or the model, and we share everything you need to know about caring for your car between appointments. Here’s a closer look at the 4MATIC® AWD system and specific service needs for these models.

You’ll Need Increased Brake Support

The 4MATIC® AWD system in our new Mercedes-Benz vehicles relies on the function of the Electronic Traction System® and the Electronic Stability Program®. The ETS™ will engage when accelerating from a dead stop to prevent vehicle slippage and to keep you safe. For the ETS® to function correctly in 4MATIC® AWD vehicles, there needs to be strong support from the braking system for maximum traction. That means your pads and rotors will likely need to be serviced and replaced more often than usual.

Transmission Care is Essential

In 4MATIC® AWD vehicles, the transfer case can be found at the rear of the transmission. In many cars, power is transferred from here to the front wheels using a chain, which needs to be appropriately cared for. Inspecting the transmission every 40,000 miles is essential to ensure that the chain doesn’t stretch or wear.

Watch for Noise

Even a system as well-designed and precisely engineered as 4MATIC® AWD experiences wear or periodic damage. If you notice any sounds or smells, it’s important to schedule service immediately so you can get the care your vehicle needs as soon as possible.
