Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2005 Mercedes-Benz ML500 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check.

Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your ML500's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2005 Mercedes-Benz ML500? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Your Mercedes-Benz ML500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
