Digital Service Booklet

These Brief Instructions support you when operating the Digital Service Booklet (DSB).

Each step is explained using graphics and text so that maintenance with the DSB system can be performed quickly and with ease.

These step-by-step instructions are denoted by , , etc.

In the following chapters, you can become familiar with additional functions of the DSB.

This information is marked with , , etc.

In principle, these Brief Instructions cover the Car, smart, Van and Truck divisions. The displays and input options may differ from the Car user interfaces shown by way of example for smart, vans and trucks. Chapters 5 and 6 therefore specifically discuss the recording of service data for vans and trucks again.

Overview of Digital Service Booklet

1Online service booklet: Reliable, comfortable and simple recording of maintenance activities


The Digital Service Booklet (DSB) replaces the conventional maintenance booklet by means of a central database.

The service confirmation is kept in duplicate. In a digital format protected against access by third parties and as a tangible record of the service booklet – the Digital Service Report.

Therefore all that is required is that the customer retains the last Digital Service Report. Should the Digital Service Report get lost, it is possible to provide information on all service data of the vehicle at any time.

Maintenance operations with the DSB system must be performed for the following vehicles:

- E and CLS-Class (as of production date September 2007)

- SL and SLK-Class (as of production date March 2008)

- All other passenger car model series (as of production date June/July 2008) except SLR, G-Class and Maybach

- All van model series, Sprinter, Vito, Viano (as of production date October 2012) and Citan (as of SOP)

- smart (as of market launch of model series 453)

- Truck (Atego, Actros, Antos, Arocs, Econic) as of production date October2016


Digital Service Report

Mercedes-Benz has developed the Digital Service Booklet to ensure that in future our customers can enjoy an even more reliable and more comfortable documentation about the service and maintenance operations conducted. With this type of documentation, the service confirmations are always accessible – online in the Digital Service Booklet. At the same time, the Digital Service Booklet does not only have advantages for the customer, but also for all workshops.

1


Advantages for the workshops

Better overviewThe vehicle history with the corresponding service data is available online, internationally and in the respective national language. You can use it any time to see which service work was performed on the particular vehicle before – and this within seconds.

More data transparencyThanks to the online data transparency, it is no longer necessary to look for the current service booklet in the vehicle during service reception – the data will then be visible directly on the screen. It is also no longer a problem if the service booklet is lost, since all of the documented entries can be reproduced. This makes for an easier job acceptance.

Advantages for the customer

More security if the service booklet is lostThe service data of the vehicle is documented continuously and can no longer be lost. Warranty protection for the customer can thus be proven at any time even if the personal Digital Service Report is lost.

More comfort when staying abroad or when changing the workshopThe service data is available to any registered partner worldwide in the respective national language and assistance can be provided anywhere for the customer quickly and professionally. Additionally, the customer can be sure that his/her service confirmation is maintained seamlessly in the event of a stay abroad or when changing the workshop.

Greater value stability of the used vehicle Driven distances and performed maintenance scopes remain tamper-proof and are documented in a verifiable manner. This increases the resale value of Mercedes-Benz or smart vehicles and provides the customer with additional peace of mind when purchasing a used vehicle.

If maintenance has not been performed, you will see an "empty" screen. If data already exists then you will be shown the last maintenance.

If you would like to enter a new maintenance operation, please click on the "New service" button.

Note: The recording of service data is identical for cars and smart vehicles. The instructions in the example are based on a car.

You will be asked "Has there been a change of ownership?". If you confirm the question with "Yes", you can now record the data for the registered owner. If you click on "No", you can record the maintenance operation directly.

Note: Please note here that the input field for owner data is not displayed in every market.

Note: Please notify the customer of the fact that the data for the registered owner will be stored and record the information based on his/her requirements. After you have entered this information you can print it out and give it to the customer.

You can now record the data for the registered owner. You will find mandatory fields on the screen which must be filled out during each maintenance - they have an orange border.

Note: You will now find the input option for entering registered owner data. A distinction can be made here between private customers and companies. It is sufficient when data is entered into one of the customer categories.

Now enter the vehicle-specific workshop code from the instrument cluster display (ASSYST).

Note: Only workshop codes (e.g. "505") and not service codes (e.g. "A") can be processed.

As soon as you change to the next input field, the corresponding service scope (Service A, Service B) and the relevant additional work appear.

Please make a check mark next to the additional work once it has been performed.

A check mark in the "Additional work" checkbox causes all the additional work in the list to be displayed.

Note: If the code cannot be determined, please place a check mark in the "Not available" field. For vehicles without a workshop code (e.g. smart, model series 230) the field is grayed out and the check mark is automatically set in the "Not available" field. In both cases you can manually select the service scope (Service A, Service B or interim service) along with the additional operations involved.

On the topic of safety:

Various safety elements are incorporated in the Digital Service Booklet:

1) The customer data you have entered (the customer must actively agree to this, see Chapter 3) is only visible to your service center or your branches. If the customer changes to another service center, the customer data must be entered again (this is legally prescribed based on the data protection guidelines).

2) The database for the Digital Service Booklet meets the most advanced security standards. Only users registered with Mercedes-Benz have access.

3) A multi-digit security code appears on each Digital Service Report as well as on the printed out service history (all Digital Service Reports). This security code represents a link between the entered service data and the workshop.

4) In the last Digital Service Report, you confirm the validity and correctness of the documented service data with your signature and stamp.
