Please only reset if the proper maintenance service has been performed. Resetting the system without performing the proper maintenance service will result in engine and/or other vehicle damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Mercedes-Benz Service Even a Mercedes-Benz needs maintenance and care. This is why your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center inspects your vehicle at regular intervals. They put it through its paces, even during a basic inspection service. You can therefore be certain that even after many thousands of miles, your MercedesBenz will still be running as safely and reliably as it did on the first day. The basic service focuses on fundamental, technically essential maintenance work. That makes it particularly cost-effective for you. And the specified maintenance procedures make the process transparent from the start. Please make sure you read the technical documentation, such as the Operator’s Manual and workshop information, before carrying out any maintenance work. 5 Maintenance Booklet Introduction Maintenance Booklet 6 Introduction The following pages describe when such a service is required and what procedures are carried out on your Mercedes-Benz. With us, your vehicle is in the best of hands. At an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center, you will find the experience and expertise of over 100 years of vehicle design and manufacture. Should your vehicle be due for a service, simply bring it to an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. In particular, work relevant to safety or on safety-related systems must be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. Also observe the "Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts" section in the Operator’s Manual. i Please note any maintenance work not performed or not performed at the specified interval which results in the failure of the warranted component(s) or system(s) in question may not be covered by the Mercedes-Benz New Vehicle Limited Warranty. PLUS Package You may select the optional PLUS package as a supplement to the basic service. This encompasses all the simple maintenance work that you could carry out yourself. You can obtain further information concerning the servicing of your vehicle from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Tire rotation Your vehicle’s tires are a critical component to overall vehicle performance and vehicle stability. The useful life of tires will vary and is proportional to tire type, speed rating, ambient conditions, tire loading, tire inflation pressure, road surfaces, and individual driving style, among other factors. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz recommends regular checks for wear and proper inflation and, if applicable GWARNING to your vehicle’s tire configuration, tire rotation. Tire rotations can be performed on vehicles with the same front and rear tire dimensions. If your vehicle is equipped with the same tire dimensions, tires can be rotated by observing a front-to-rear rotation pattern that will maintain the intended rotation (spinning) direction of the tire (on unidirectional tires, an arrow on the sidewall indicates the intended rotation or spinning direction of the tire). In some cases, such as when your vehicle is configured with staggered sizes (different tire sizes, front vs. rear), tire rotations are not possible. If your vehicle’s tire configuration allows for tire rotation, tire rotation should be performed in accordance with the recommended intervals, or sooner at first signs of irregular (uneven) tread wear. Tire rotation recommendations will likely necessitate a tire rotation at every Service B based on Mercedes-Benz maintenance intervals. For your convenience, this Maintenance Booklet contains a tire rotation confirmation page on which you can record the date and mileage when tire rotations were performed (Y page 19). Severe operating conditions The maintenance intervals have been determined so that the vehicle, under normal operating conditions, should operate properly between maintenance services. Severe operating conditions may call for correspondingly sooner replacement of the following items: RInterior filters (e.g. dust filter, recirculating air filter, activated charcoal particle filter or combination filter) are replaced as called for by the ASSYST PLUS service interval display. Under severe dust conditions, or with the Climate Control frequently operating in the air recirculation mode, the filter should be Please make sure you read the technical documentation, such as the Operator’s Manual and workshop information, before carrying out any maintenance work. replaced more frequently than indicated by the ASSYST PLUS service interval display. RSpark plugs Spark plugs should be replaced according to the specified maintenance interval. Severe operating conditions (frequent starting and stopping, excessive idling, sustained fast highway driving) may call for spark plugs to be replaced correspondingly sooner. RCoolant Have the coolant (water/anticorrosion/ antifreeze mixture) replaced at the specified maintenance interval. Replacement of coolant may be required more frequently if coolant is not maintained according to instructions and/or other than approved anticorrosion/antifreeze products for your vehicle are being used. For instructions on coolant, see "Coolant" in your vehicle Operator’s Manual. For a listing of approved anticorrosion/antifreeze products for your vehicle, contact your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Wear items While the ASSYST PLUS service interval display calls for inspection of certain wear items, the system does not make any judgment on the condition of these wear items. Only a qualified technician can determine if a wear item needs to be replaced. Tested and approved engine oils and oil filters Engine oils and oil filters are specifically tested for their suitability in our engines and durability for our service intervals. Therefore, only use approved engine oils and oil filters required for vehicles with the ASSYST PLUS service interval display. Conventional petro1 leum-based oils must not be used for vehicles equipped with the ASSYST PLUS service interval display. The following cases are not covered by the Mercedes-Benz New Vehicle Limited Warranty: Rusing engine oils and oil filters of specification other than those expressly required for the ASSYST PLUS service interval display.

To be certain that the emission control systems function as designed, regular maintenance is necessary for components of the vehicle which affect exhaust and evaporative emissions composition. The vehicle owner is responsible for the regular maintenance of the emission control system, as well as the use of premium unleaded gasoline with an anti-knock index of at least 91 (displayed on the pump) in all gasoline engine models unless otherwise specified. Failure to properly maintain the emission system may result in repairs not being covered by the emission system warranties. Explanations of each maintenance job are given on (Y page 11). Maintenance Booklet using special measuring equipment to comply with legal requirements concerning exhaust emissions. Modifications to or tampering with emissions components is not permissible. Your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center is familiar with the relevant regulations. Emission System Maintenance Emission Control System Caution – Gasoline Engines Your Mercedes-Benz vehicle is equipped with both a three-way catalyst and a closed loop oxygen sensor system to comply with current exhaust emission regulations. Keep your vehicle in proper operating condition by following our recommended maintenance instructions as outlined. The following must be adhered to: a) In all gasoline engine models, use only premium unleaded gasoline with an antiknock index of at least 91 (as displayed on the pump) unless otherwise specified. Damage to the engine could occur if premium unleaded fuel is not used. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for special precautions. b) Leaded gasoline should not be used under any circumstances. Damage to the emission control components will result. c) In non flex‑fuel capable gasoline engine equipped vehicles, ethanol blends Please make sure you read the technical documentation, such as the Operator’s Manual and workshop information, before carrying out any maintenance work. Maintenance Booklet 10 Emission System Maintenance greater than E10 should not be used. Damage to the engine could occur if improper fuels are used. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for special precautions. d) In select models, the use of Ethanol (E85) is also permissible. Models capable of also operating with E85 are identified by a label on the fuel filler flap reading ’Premium gasoline or E85 only!’. Do not use Ethanol fuel (E85) to operate any vehicle unless it is specifically identified as Ethanol fuel (E85) compatible. Damage to the engine could occur if improper fuels are used. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for special precautions. e) The specified engine maintenance jobs must be performed completely and at the required intervals. Properly functioning spark plugs for instance are important for the service life of the catalysts. Failure to properly perform the specified maintenance jobs may adversely affect the emission control system on the vehicle and reduce its service life. f) The operation of the emission control system must not be altered in any way. Alterations are not permissible by law. In addition, alterations may result in damage to the catalysts, increased fuel consumption, and impaired engine running conditions. g) Irregular engine running conditions should be corrected immediately by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Such irregular running conditions can influence the proper function of the emission control system. If the check engine indicator lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates when the engine is running, it indicates a possible malfunction of the engine management system or emission control system. We recommend that you have the malfunction checked as soon as possible. GWARNING Emission Control System Caution – Diesel Engines Your Mercedes-Benz is equipped with emission control devices to comply with current diesel exhaust emission regulations where the vehicle is certified for sale. Keep your vehicle in proper operating condition by following our recommended maintenance instructions as outlined. The following must be adhered to: a) Diesel engines require ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL (15 ppm SULFUR MAXIMUM) that meets the ASTM D975 standard. Failure to use ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL (ULSD) can severely damage the vehicle's exhaust after-treatment device. b) Mercedes-Benz USA approves the use of B5 (standard ULSD which may contain a maximum of 5% biodiesel) in all BlueTEC diesel engines. Diesel fuels containing a higher proportion of biodiesel, e.g. B20, as well as straight biodiesel may cause severe damage to your engine/fuel system and are not approved. Please ask your service station for further information. If the B5 biodiesel blend is not sufficiently labeled to clearly indicate that it meets the USLD standard, please do not use it. The Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty does not cover damage caused by the use of fuels not meeting Mercedes-Benz approved fuel standards. c) The specified engine maintenance jobs have to be performed completely and at the required intervals. d) The operation of the emission control system must not be altered in any way. Alterations are not permissible by law. In addition, alterations may result in damage to the catalysts, increased fuel consumption, and impaired engine running conditions. If the check engine indicator lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates when the Please make sure you read the technical documentation, such as the Operator’s Manual and workshop information, before carrying out any maintenance work. engine is running, it indicates a possible malfunction of the engine management system or emission control system. We recommend that you have the malfunction checked as soon as possible. BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment with DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) Models: RE 250 BlueTEC RE 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC RGL 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC RGLK 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC RML 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC The BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment system requires DEF in order to function properly. Maintaining the level and condition of the DEF is part of the regular maintenance service work. Under normal driving conditions, one tankful of DEF should suffice until the next maintenance service. DEF is a non-flammable, non-toxic, colorless and odorless, water-soluble liquid. ! Only use DEF complying with ISO 22241. Do not add special additives to DEF and do not dilute DEF with water. Otherwise, the BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment system could be damaged. Description of Emission System Maintenance Jobs The composition of exhaust emissions is influenced not only by the special emission control equipment, but also by various engine components and their adjustments. Therefore, emission system maintenance must include these engine components. Some maintenance jobs are actually only tests. They are important however, because they allow early detection of discrepancies which can later lead to increased exhaust GWARNING emissions. It is generally less expensive to have such items adjusted immediately rather than allowing them to contribute to costly repairs. The maintenance intervals have been determined so that the vehicle, under normal conditions, should operate properly between services. Changing the engine oil and filter Change the engine oil and oil filter according to the specified maintenance intervals. If oil consumption should increase, determine the cause and take necessary corrective steps. Do not reset the ASSYST PLUS service interval display if the oil level is adjusted or changed outside the specified maintenance intervals. Replacing the air filter The air filter must be replaced according to the specified maintenance intervals. Under severe dust conditions the air filter should be replaced more frequently than indicated by the ASSYST PLUS service interval display. Clean air filter cover and housing prior to removal of air filter. Replacing the fuel filter Replace the fuel filter according to the specified maintenance intervals. Replacing spark plugs Spark plugs are subject to electrode erosion and must be replaced according to the specified maintenance intervals, or more frequently as may be required when subject to severe operating conditions. Please make sure you read the technical documentation, such as the Operator’s Manual and workshop information, before carrying out any maintenance work. 11 Maintenance Booklet Description of Emission System Maintenance Jobs 12 Maintenance service descriptions Filling up DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) Maintenance Booklet Fill up DEF according to the specified maintenance intervals.
