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 13). 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 92).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.The first tire rotation, so long as it occurs ator before 5,000 miles (vehicle odometer), willbe provided at no charge by your authorizedMercedes-Benz Center courtesy ofMercedes-Benz. Please refer to the Serviceand Warranty Information booklet for fulldetails.Should a tire rotation not be possible for yourvehicle’s tire configuration, your authorizedMercedes-Benz Center will check your tiresfor proper tire inflation pressure and performa tread inspection, also at no charge courtesyof Mercedes-Benz, so long as this occurs ator before 5,000 miles (vehicle odometer).For your convenience, this MaintenanceBooklet contains a tire rotation confirmationpage on which you can record the date and

mileage when tire rotations were performed(Y page 92).

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/antifreeze

BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment with AdBlue®

Models:RR 320 BlueTECRML 320 BlueTECRGL 320 BlueTECThe BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatmentsystem requires a reducing agent (AdBlue®)in order to function properly. Maintaining thelevel and condition of the AdBlue® agent ispart of the regular maintenance service work.Under normal driving conditions one tankfulof AdBlue® agent should suffice until the nextmaintenance service.AdBlue® is a non-flammable, non-toxic,colorless and odorless, water-soluble liquid.

! Only use AdBlue® complying withISO 22241. Do not add special additives toAdBlue® and do not dilute AdBlue® withwater. Otherwise, the BlueTEC exhaust gasaftertreatment system could be damaged.

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 normal

conditions, 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 every20,000 miles or 2 years and in SL-Class andG-Class vehicles every 60,000 miles or6 years.

Check engine poly-V-belt conditionThe poly-V-belt is subject to wear and aging.It must be checked for cracks and wear atevery 20,000 miles or 2 years. Replace poly-V-belt if necessary.
