Mercedes-EQ B-Service: how to maintain an electric vehicle
Contenido del artículo
The maintenance of your electric Mercedes is a way to ensure the reliability of the car and that there is no risk to safety in daily driving. There are two types of maintenance, Mercedes-EQ Service A and Mercedes-EQ Service B, two types of revisions that are periodically passed to your electric Mercedes to check the condition of the different parts of the vehicle.
As with Mercedes A Maintenance, electric cars are also inspected once a year to ensure that all parts of the vehicle are in perfect condition. Certain parts will also be replaced as indicated by the car and other stressed components such as tires or brakes will be checked for irregular or excessive wear.
Maintenance B Mercedes electric: when and why to do it?
It is important to comply with the service intervals B of your electric Mercedes to ensure that the car works properly at all times. The service intervals are generally one year and it will be the vehicle itself through the main display that will tell you when it is time for a service. To do this, the instrument panel display will show a message reading "Service A" or "Service B" followed by a number.
Maintenance A is known as short maintenance, i.e. the one that involves the least amount of replacement work. Meanwhile, the B maintenance of your Mercedes electric is the long maintenance and dedicates time to those components that need to be revised or replaced at intervals of 2 years. Once the service has been performed, our technicians will reset the system and indicate to the car that the maintenance has been performed so that the message will not appear again until the next interval.
During overhauls, all components associated with the electric propulsion system are checked, just as in a car with a combustion engine. Then, depending on the type of service that needs to be performed, other parts subject to wear and tear will be checked or replaced. It will also be verified that there is no type of breakdown or component in bad condition that could affect the integrity of the vehicle or its safety.
