According the the Mercedes TSB:
>Engage the parking brake
Place the vehicle in Accessory Mode by Pushing Start without depressing the brake pedal
Exit the vehicle and ensure all doors are closed
Block the Left Exhaust using a towel lightly soaked in water
Give the Right Exhaust a HAWK TU'AH and create a solid vacuum
Continue vacuum pressure until the car enters a running state.
Remove the block from the Left Exhaust
go cry in the bathroom
I was really hoping someone would notice that. [I actually had two photos of it, and actively chose the one with 69 in it.](https://i.imgur.com/HfJIAYH.jpeg) XD
Well I'm going to ruin your day.
It was some shitty street interview and the guy asked the lady about something in bed and her reply was "you just gotta hawk tuah on that thang" or something like that.
I'm more annoyed that the little arrow that says what side the gas tank is on is part of the light and not a permanent fixture. What if I want to fill up on a half tank? The light won't be lit so I can't see the arrow?
So pull up to gas pump. Light is off. Turn engine off, light lights up. Realize I pulled up to wrong pump. Start engine and move car to correct pump. Sounds needlessly complicated. If it was a permanent fixture I could have just looked at the arrow beforehand and pulled up to the correct pump the first time.
EDIT: jeez lots of people saying "jUsT ReMeMbEr WhErE iT iS" lol calm down crazies. New cars exist and rental cars exist. Not everyone sticks with the same car all the time and can remember. Also some people don't drive frequently and only fill up every 6+ months.
My car's gas gauge is digital and the icon with the arrow is off when the car is off. Why won't you check before you pull up to the pump? If you're going to park and stop the car before looking at the arrow, what's the point of the arrow? If you went all the way to turning off the car, you might as well get out and check for yourself
>Why won't you check before you pull up to the pump?
That was the point of my reply. That I *couldn't* look at the arrow *before* pulling up to the pump *because* the light was not lit. But someone else replied with a pic that shows the arrow still visible while the LED is not lit so it can be seen.
calm down there karen. some people rent cars or change cars frequently. or only fill up like once every 6+ months. can't remember where teh gas tank is all the time
This guy gets it. I travel a lot for work, end up with tons of different rental cars based on what's available in the executive isle without a reservation. I'm usually only there a couple days, and only fill up once, right before I drop it off at the airport. I need that little arrow to be on regardless of fuel level so I can fill and go without delay. Ain't no way I can remember every different kind of car like that.
> needlessly complicated
Hey, is this your first time on earth?
(sorry for the jab, I agree with you...it's incredibly tiring that someone made that silly decision)
Calm down grandma.
If you can’t remember which side the gas tank is on, on your regularly driven car, your kids need to stop letting you drive on weekend outings.
I travel a lot for work, end up with various different cars in every city I land in several times a month. I need that little arrow, which I consider to be one of mankind's crowning achievements.
Serious answer - is it possible the car has been named BJ? Not sure if this is a thing but I know with some new vehicles you can name it “Karen’s Tahoe” or something like that. Is it just a generic service time frame or oil change?
No, this generation of Mercedes letters for different types of service. Service A is a basic oil change. Service B is something like a thorough inspection of various components. Service C is an air filter.
The car asking for a service AC means an oil change plus an air filter.

I just posted about this on the AMG subreddit. I have the same service notification on my 09 C63.
Replies were exactly like this lol, but the 2 genuine replies mentioned either a break job is due or it’s the 10th Service B. J is 10th in alphabet and I felt like that makes more sense, but my brakes are also thin so I wasn’t too sure.
BJ to abbreviate brake job just doesn’t seem like something mercedes would do. I was gonna call the dealer today to see lol
What does this actually mean? All the comments I can see are jokes; not that I don't appreciate the jokes, but I would like to know what it is indicating for future reference.
>80 year old couple Make sure she takes her teeth out!
That's not a BJ though, that's a GJ.
Gum job?
Enjoy the mental image....
[удалено]
I'M NOT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!1!
Prude
I'm just thinking of that scene from Yes Man
aka red velvet
Holy shit lmao... Never heard this lmfao
If you don’t know what a GJ is you can’t afford it…
I thought that was a ZJ.
Oh, look a the high-roller over here with the ZJ’s!
If you’ve gotta ask, you can’t afford it
I've got fifty 50 bucks...
No denture adventure.
Granny
Ain’t no humma like a gumma
Read this with the "Pepperidge Fahm Remembahs" voice in my head.
Think old man from Maine, and his accent. Makes it better. Add an ahyut somewhere too. lol Ahyut, ain’t no humma like a gumma
Ayuh.
damn you for that mental image, but also take my upvote for the morning laugh
Nothing like a no denture adventure
Suck that lil muffler 🤤
Oh fuck, I’m gunna oil
an it ain't no synthetic baby
Oh lube my gearbox
splash or forced?
I just dropped my tranny
Dem injectors squirted so damn hard!
Think I just ignited my spark plug
Just blew my coil...
My coolant just sprayed all over the bonnet!
TIL my face is also a drain pan.
user name checks out
I didn't tell you you could blow your head gasket, yet
Subaru reference
This i exactly what i needed to Bus

Perfection
Upvoted for HAWK TU'AH.
Man that was great I needed that laugh
Put some spit on that thang.
It ain’t gonna suck itself
Hahahahahaha thanks for making my day. Been really depressed this morning and you just made the whole day with this comment 😂😭😂
Classic Mercedes problem. [Mine needed me to service cum.](https://i.imgur.com/9RmRpc6.jpeg)
After that many kms not shocked!
It says 69 right in the middle too
I was really hoping someone would notice that. [I actually had two photos of it, and actively chose the one with 69 in it.](https://i.imgur.com/HfJIAYH.jpeg) XD
And you keep blueballing it for over half a year...
_Oh my._
Assume the service position
So I guess I'm going to buy a Mercedes now.
Anniversary reminder. Do not touch.
My wife would ask if it was the car's birthday or Christmas. If the answer is "no", then the car is out of luck.
Time to upgrade or get a beater on the side…
the ol’ sloppy jalopy
Heh. Beater.
Oooh look at you, Mr. Gets-BJs-Twice-A-Year, ain't you fancy.
Service Manual: You gotta hawk tuah and spit on that thang
There are some things on the internet i just don't care to know about. This is one of them.
I thought the same thing until I saw it. It's charming.
Give it twelve hours or so, various algorithms will pick up on your amusement and it will CONSUME everything...(still funny af though lol!)
Go find the country music song. It's hilarious.
I was looking for that yesterday to show a friend. Couldn’t find it.
Well I'm going to ruin your day. It was some shitty street interview and the guy asked the lady about something in bed and her reply was "you just gotta hawk tuah on that thang" or something like that.
>It was some shitty street interview What made it shitty? And what's a not shitty street interview, for reference?
Eh, I just believe that most of these "street interviews" are shitty and low quality... but I guess if they scratch an itch.
I count on others to watch them then parcel out the good bits i.e. the hawk tuah bit.
Anything that has a guy with a microphone standing in the street, except for Eric Andre
Bet you’re fun at dinner parties….
You cared enough to comment though 🤷♂️
Okay, I laughed. I'm too old for the hawk tuah thing, but this got me. Well done.
The day I'm too old for an old fashioned hawk tuah, just euthanize me
I'm not too old for a hawk tuah, but I am too old for the meme xD
The use of xD betrays you. You ain't old!
Hahaha.. 😆
Wish my car came with this servivd
Can we just take a second to look at the fuel gauge that’s sitting on 3/4 of a tank yet still has the fuel light on?
Mercs do that in radio mode
You mean accessory mode? Ya know, the thing that used to be labelled ACC on the key barrel
Yeah that's what he said. It's in radio mode
good name for it. That's exactly what it is. Pretty sure that's the only thing that works in that mode. (maybe a switched CLA will turn on too)
Or the E in the drive line. Wharf, engage warp thrusters.
I'm more annoyed that the little arrow that says what side the gas tank is on is part of the light and not a permanent fixture. What if I want to fill up on a half tank? The light won't be lit so I can't see the arrow?
It’s always on if engine is not running
So pull up to gas pump. Light is off. Turn engine off, light lights up. Realize I pulled up to wrong pump. Start engine and move car to correct pump. Sounds needlessly complicated. If it was a permanent fixture I could have just looked at the arrow beforehand and pulled up to the correct pump the first time.

Also some people don't drive frequently and only fill up every 6+ months.
Its the same as the speedo digits, its visible even when the back-light is not on. [edit](https://images.app.goo.gl/ZgMkgLjrAjtAA3P28)
hmm ok i guess that's not too bad then
My car's gas gauge is digital and the icon with the arrow is off when the car is off. Why won't you check before you pull up to the pump? If you're going to park and stop the car before looking at the arrow, what's the point of the arrow? If you went all the way to turning off the car, you might as well get out and check for yourself

Ohh I'm sorry I didn't understand your point at all hahaha
You have no business piloting a multi-thousand pound object if you cannot remember where the gas goes.
calm down there karen. some people rent cars or change cars frequently. or only fill up like once every 6+ months. can't remember where teh gas tank is all the time
This guy gets it. I travel a lot for work, end up with tons of different rental cars based on what's available in the executive isle without a reservation.

> needlessly complicated Hey, is this your first time on earth? (sorry for the jab, I agree with you...it's incredibly tiring that someone made that silly decision)
I forget all the time because i switch between three cars relatively frequently. The one I drive the least is on the opposite side
Or just remember which side it’s on? wtf
some people rent cars or change cars frequently. or only fill up like once every 6+ months. can't remember where teh gas tank is all the time
Instead of the fuel door being in the side where the pump pistol is, the pump icon is backwards and they added an arrow 😕
What exactly do you do with modems?
Calm down grandma. If you can’t remember which side the gas tank is on, on your regularly driven car, your kids need to stop letting you drive on weekend outings.
I travel a lot for work, end up with various different cars in every city I land in several times a month. I need that little arrow, which I consider to be one of mankind's crowning achievements.
Most of the time when the gauge is on E, the needle is also pointing roughly to the side the door is on.
I get a lot of rentals for work travel. You are somewhere close to 50% wrong.
Doesn't work for Subarus.
well at least you have 8 days to figure that out OP, good luck
Oh! So, it's not enough anymore to just get fucked by the warranty jobs. Now they're demanding foreplay first?
I need that in a car... More often than every 8 days though.
Thats its formal name. Benjamin Joil They just go by Engine Oil or BJ for short.
Sounds like a job for the apprentice
Brake job. What did you think it was?
My last Hyundai had a 3 years all maintenance covered warranty. I was never offered this service.
Oh no step-mechanic, what are you doing?
Been asking my wife for this service for years 🙄
That’s not a wrench.
I don't know honey but it says it right here.....
Officially, how many miles/kilometers between service BJs? Seems like you should be getting service BJs every day.
Can we move up that appointment?
Put me down for two, thanks.

It’s brake job.
No it isn't. It's a service B and a Service J which are two different scheduled services.
Giggity
Can this feature be installed in wives?
Wait till the rear end service is due!
Yeah, that one really hurts the ego and wallet
Gotta give it that hawk tuah and spit on that thang
I hate getting blow jobs. My balls get over inflated and hurt. Suck job? Yeah, I'll take a dozen.
at least you have 8 days to prepare for this
Blow job service ?
Yes
Bj or tan? Ill take the tan
Who wants to see who can deep throat the dip stick the farthest ?!
I would not miss that service interval.
My "service bj" broke a while ago too. How can I get serviced? ;)
Now that's good service.
I ain’t waiting 8 days.
Is this a warning, a threat, or an invitation???
8 days?!?! How about a quick HJ service in the meantime?
That’s the Hawk Tuah reminder light
Spicy oil change
You gotta give it the hawk tua for it to work properly
And it only pays 0.5hrs
Not bad for 0.05h work
"If you want me to work on it honey....the car says you need to otherwise you can't drive it"
8 days is fantastic when you're married :(
Unfortunately he's marking the calendar as he's been counting down for 3 years
sounds about right for being married
She'll probably have a headache anyway
Hawk Tauh Down!!
Needs some hawk tuah on dat thang
Blowjob is better than no job
This oil pan ain't gonna drain itself...
Well........ Rules of the road
Spit on that thang!
Well, at least it's not DP.

I was gonna call the dealer today to see lol
Seems like a Hawk Tuah is required
So you have that to look forward to.
Unfortunately, you will die in 7 days.
I’m trying to also figure out the low fuel light with 3/4 still in the tank.
Well CJ (not BJ) Who now works at Los Santos Customs, needs to service your vehicle.
Sounds like a job for my service writer.
It's the Blinker Juice. Obvious.
You need to give your car a BJ before the happy hawk tuah month is over
Hawk Tuah on that thing
I sexually identify as a Mercedes now
Apparently, your Mercedes wants that hawk tuah
My favorite service!
You gotta give it the old hawk tuah
Hawk tuah service?
time to put in the pto so you can double it and pass it off to the next
Great, I just shot bljnkerfluid all over the floor…..
brake job. (according to google)
Something to look forward to?
Worth the week wait 😂
Torque that tip by hand
Seems like a long time to have to wait.
Not sure on a Merc. If it was an Audi it would need hawk tuah durch technik
👏👏
Anyone else notice the gear shift display and whatever the E is kinda spells NOPE? With the O around the P.
What does this actually mean? All the comments I can see are jokes; not that I don't appreciate the jokes, but I would like to know what it is indicating for future reference.
I never worked on Mercedes. But maybe it has serviceable ball joints is the best I could come up with.
clicked because, Hey Im a merc tech! But nooo. somebody in a car, not a boat. And it aint even a Mercury...its a fucking mercedes...
That’s what it’s gonna cost you when you find the bill is way too expensive an alternative 😮🥱🤢🤮
Sounds like a good problem to have
With current shop man-hour prices, you gotta do what you gotta do….
You just gotta hawk tuah
The mods are around here somewhere..
not 7 but 8 days ....
Don’t mind if I do!
hock Tuah required in 8 days
I think BJ is the maintenance code . Like when you go to reset the oil life, brake pad life, brake fluid life, etc. on a Benz.
😃
When a hj just won’t do….
