Introduction

Mercedes-Benz Maintenance SystemYour Mercedes-Benz comes equipped withthe Mercedes-Benz Maintenance System.The Maintenance system tracks distancedriven and the time elapsed since your lastservice. The maintenance service is indicatedin the multifunction display in the instrumentcluster.Approximately 1 month before amaintenance service is due, a messageappears in the multifunction display. Themessage provides the remaining miles ordays until the next maintenance service isdue.A descriptive listing of the service items arecontained in this booklet starting on(Y page 10). Following each maintenanceservice, your authorized Mercedes-BenzCenter will reset the Maintenance Systemservice indicator by confirming the serviceitems performed.The authorized Mercedes-Benz Centerperforming the maintenance services willconfirm the work has been carried out usingthe Confirmation pages in this booklet(Y page 87).We continuously strive to improve ourproduct and ask for your understanding thatwe reserve the right to make changes in theperiodic maintenance work for our vehicles.The information in this manual is accurate asof the press date. At the time of yourscheduled maintenance appointments withyour authorized Mercedes-Benz Center, themost current maintenance work informationwill be utilized for your vehicle’s age ormileage. Please check with your authorizedMercedes-Benz Center for any changes to theperiodic maintenance work for your vehicle.

i If the Maintenance System servicecounter was inadvertently reset, have anauthorized Mercedes-Benz Center correctit. Please only reset if the proper

maintenance service has been performed.Resetting the system without performingthe proper maintenance service will resultin engine and/or other vehicle damage notcovered by the Mercedes-Benz NewVehicle Limited Warranty.

Required and Recommended Service Work

Required and Recommended Service Workincludes inspection or maintenance of manydifferent components and systems in yourvehicle. The replacement of certaincomponents at varying intervals is also partof Required and Recommended ServiceWork.Required Service Work is intended to helpmaximize the service life of components orsystems important to your vehicle’scontinued proper operation.In addition to the Required Service Work,Recommended Service Work is intended toprovide you with the flexibility to choosewhich maintenance work is performed onyour vehicle based on its needs orrecommendations from your authorizedMercedes-Benz Center.

i Please note any maintenance work notperformed or not performed at thespecified interval which results in thefailure of the warranted component(s) orsystem(s) in question may not be coveredby the Mercedes-Benz New Vehicle LimitedWarranty.

Tire rotationYour vehicle’s tires are a critical componentto overall vehicle performance and vehiclestability. The useful life of tires will vary andis proportional to tire type, speed rating,ambient conditions, tire loading, tire inflationpressure, road surfaces, and individual

driving style, among other factors. Therefore,Mercedes-Benz recommends regular checksfor wear and proper inflation and, if applicableto your vehicle’s tire configuration, tirerotation.Tire rotations can be performed on vehicleswith the same front and rear tire dimensions.If your vehicle is equipped with the same tiredimensions, tires can be rotated by observinga front-to-rear rotation pattern that willmaintain the intended rotation (spinning)direction of the tire (on unidirectional tires, anarrow on the sidewall indicates the intendedrotation or spinning direction of the tire). Insome cases, such as when your vehicle isconfigured with staggered sizes (different tiresizes, front vs. rear), tire rotations are notpossible.If your vehicle’s tire configuration allows fortire rotation, tire rotation should beperformed in accordance with therecommended intervals, or sooner at firstsigns of irregular (uneven) tread wear. Tirerotation recommendations will likelynecessitate a tire rotation at least once inbetween maintenance services and at everymaintenance service based on Mercedes-Benz maintenance intervals.For your convenience, this MaintenanceBooklet contains a tire rotation confirmationpage on which you can record the date andmileage when tire rotations were performed(Y page 87).

Severe operating conditionsThe maintenance intervals have beendetermined so that the vehicle, under normaloperating conditions, should operateproperly between maintenance services.Severe operating conditions may call forcorrespondingly sooner replacement of thefollowing items:RINTERIOR FILTERS

(e.g. dust filter, recirculating air filter,activated charcoal filter or combinationfilter) are replaced as called for by theMaintenance System. Under severe dustconditions, or with the Climate Controlfrequently operating in the air recirculationmode, the filters should be replacedcorrespondingly sooner and changed morefrequently than as called for by theMaintenance System.RSPARK PLUGS

Spark plugs should be replaced accordingto the specified maintenance interval.Severe operating conditions (frequentstarting and stopping, excessive idling,sustained fast highway driving) may call forspark plugs to be replaced correspondinglysooner.RCOOLANT

Have the coolant (water/anticorrosion/antifreeze mixture) replaced at thespecified maintenance interval. In vehicleswith engine 275 and G-Class withengine 113, the coolant should be checkedfor proper concentration before the start ofeach winter season (or once a year in hotregions).Replacement of coolant may be requiredmore frequently if coolant is not maintainedaccording to instructions and/or otherthan approved anticorrosion/antifreezeproducts for your vehicle are being used.For instructions on coolant, see “Coolants”in your vehicle Operator’s Manual. For alisting of approved anticorrosion/antifreeze products for your vehicle,contact your authorized Mercedes-BenzCenter.

Wear itemsWhile the Maintenance System calls forinspection of certain wear items, the systemdoes not make any judgment on the condition

Emission System Maintenance

Gasoline EnginesThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agencyand, in California, the Air Resources Boardhave certified that the emission controlsystems of your vehicle comply with theapplicable exhaust emission standards forMY 2010 vehicles.To be certain that the emission controlsystems function as designed, regularmaintenance is necessary for components ofthe vehicle which affect exhaust andevaporative emissions composition.The vehicle owner is responsible for theregular maintenance of the emission controlsystem, as well as the use of premiumunleaded gasoline with an anti-knock index ofat least 91 (displayed on the pump) in allgasoline engine models unless otherwisespecified.Failure to properly maintain the emissionsystem may result in repairs not beingcovered by the emission system warranties.Explanations of each maintenance job aregiven on (Y page 10).

Emission Control System Caution - Gasoline Engines

Your Mercedes-Benz vehicle is equipped withboth a three-way catalyst and a closed loopoxygen sensor system to comply with currentexhaust emission regulations. Keep yourvehicle in proper operating condition byfollowing our recommended maintenanceinstructions as outlined.The following has to be adhered to:

a) In all gasoline engine models, use only premium unleaded gasoline with an anti-knock index of at least 91 (as displayed on the pump) unless otherwise specified. Damage to the engine could occurif premium unleaded fuel is not used. Refer tothe Operator’s Manual for specialprecautions.b) Leaded gasoline should not be used under any circumstances. Damage to theemission control components will result.c) In select models, the use of Ethanol (E85) is also permissible. Models capableof also operating with E85 are identified by alabel on the fuel filler flap reading ’Premiumgasoline or E85 only!’. Do not use Ethanol fuel(E85) to operate any vehicle unless it isspecifically identified as Ethanol fuel (E85)compatible. Damage to the engine couldoccur if improper fuels are used. Refer to theOperator’s Manual for special precaution.d) The specified engine maintenance jobs have to be performed completely and at the required intervals. Correct ignitiontiming and properly functioning spark plugsfor instance are important for the service lifeof the catalysts. Failure to properly performthe specified maintenance jobs mayadversely affect the emission control systemon the vehicle and reduce its service life.e) The operation of the emission control system must not be altered in any way.Alterations are not permissible by law. Inaddition, alterations may result in damage tothe catalysts, increased fuel consumption,and impaired engine running conditions.f) Irregular engine running conditions should be corrected immediately by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Suchirregular running conditions can influence theproper function of the emission controlsystem.If the “CHECK ENGINE” indicator lamp in theinstrument cluster illuminates when theengine is running, it indicates a possible

Description of Emission System Maintenance Jobs

The composition of exhaust emissions isinfluenced not only by the special emissioncontrol equipment, but also by various enginecomponents and their adjustments.Therefore, emission system maintenancemust include these engine components.Some maintenance jobs are actually onlytests. They are important however, becausethey allow early detection of discrepancieswhich can later lead to increased exhaustemissions. It is generally less expensive tohave such items adjusted immediately ratherthan allowing them to contribute to costlyrepairs. The maintenance intervals have beendetermined so that the vehicle, under normalconditions, should operate properly betweenservices.

Engine oil and filter changeChange the engine oil and oil filter every10,000 miles or 1 year. If oil consumptionshould increase, determine the cause andtake necessary corrective steps. Do not resetthe Maintenance System service indicator ifthe oil level is adjusted or changed outsidethe interval of 10,000 miles or 1 year.

Replace air filterUnder normal dust conditions, replace the airfilter at every 40,000 miles or 4 years. Invehicles with engine 275 replace the air filterat every 60,000 miles or 6 years. Clean airfilter cover and housing prior to removal of airfilter.

Replace fuel filterReplace the fuel filter every 150,000 miles or15 years. In diesel vehicles replace every

20,000 miles or 2 years and in SL-Class andG-Class vehicles every 60,000 miles or6 years.

Replace spark plugsSpark plugs are subject to electrode erosionand must be replaced according to thespecified maintenance intervals, or morefrequently as may be required when subjectto severe operating conditions.

Evacuate and fill up AdBlue®

Fill up AdBlue® every 10,000 miles or 1 year.Evacuate and fill up AdBlue® every20,000 miles or 2 years.
