Protecting the environment
H
Natural resources form the basis of our existence on this planet. The objectives of our policy are for these resources to be used sparingly and in a manner which takes the requirements of both nature and humanity into account.
Our declared policy is integrated environ­mental protection. This policy starts at the root causes and encompasses in its management decisions all the conse­quences for the environment which could arise from production processes or the products themselves.
You too can help to protect the environ­ment by operating your Mercedes-Benz in an environmentally responsible manner.
Operating conditions and your individual driving style to a large extent influence fuel consumption and the rate of engine, brake, and tire wear. To reduce fuel con­sumption and the rate of wear, please consider the following:
• Avoid short trips.
• Make sure that the tire pressures are always correct.
• Avoid frequent, abrupt acceleration.
• Do not carry any unnecessary weight.
• Remove ski holders and roof racks once you no longer need them.
• Do not warm up the engine with the car stationary.
• Shift gears such that each gear is used only up to 2/3 of its maximum engine speed.
• Keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel con­sumption.
A regularly serviced vehicle will also help protect the environment. You should ad­here to the maintenance intervals dis­played by the Maintenance System indicator, along with other maintenance work described in this booklet.
We recommend that you have services performed by an authorized Mercedes­Benz Light Truck Center using Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts.

Introduction
We want you to enjoy your Mercedes­Benz automobile. Vehicle safety and operational reliability are two very important factors and to maintain them, regular maintenance services are necessary.
We continuously strive to improve our product and ask for your understanding that we reserve the right to make chang­es in the periodic maintenance work which is required for our vehicles. The in­formation in this manual is accurate as of the editorial date. At the time of your scheduled maintenance appointments with your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center, the most current maintenance work information will be utilized for your vehicle’s age or mileage. Please check with your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for any changes to the periodic maintenance work required for your vehi­cle.
Your Mercedes-Benz comes equipped with the Mercedes-Benz Maintenance System. The Maintenance System tracks distance driven and the time elapsed since your last service. The next neces­sary maintenance service is indicated in the maintenance service indicator in the instrument cluster.
There are two types of maintenance services for your vehicle, an (“minor”) A­service, and a (“major”) B-service. Additional work that is not calculated by the Maintenance System is required at both A- and B-service intervals. Please refer to “Additional Work to be Performed” on page 59 for more details.
Following each A- or B-service, your authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center will reset the Maintenance System service indicator by confirming the service items performed.

If the Maintenance System service counter was inadvertently reset, have a Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center correct it. Please only reset if the proper maintenance service has been performed. Resetting the system without performing the proper service will result in engine and/or other vehicle damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
Maintenance Booklet
Introduction
Additional work
Additional work means any work that is not calculated by the Maintenance System. This work is listed in the section “Additional Work to be Performed”, see page 59. This type of work has to be carried out accord­ing to the individual vehicle type, due to the specific technical parameters, wear proc­esses or special equipment on each differ­ent vehicle.
Special service requirements
A detailed listing of service procedures per­formed are contained in this booklet, start­ing on page 49.
Brake fluid should be replaced every two years, preferably in the spring, see page
61. We recommend that you only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz. A re­minder for the next scheduled brake fluid replacement is affixed in the engine com­partment.
Coolant should be checked for the proper concentration before the start of the winter season (or once a year in hot regions). Have the coolant (water/anticorrosion/an­tifreeze mixture) replaced as required for your vehicle model, see page 61.

Page 8
Maintenance Booklet
Information Provided by:
Introduction
Replacement of coolant (water/anticor­rosion/antifreeze mixture) 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 “Coolants” in your vehicle Oper­ator’s Manual. For a listing of approved anticorrosion/ antifreeze products for your vehicle, refer to the Factory Ap­proved Service Products pamphlet in your vehicle literature portfolio, or con­tact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.
Interior filters (e.g. dust filter, recircu­lating air filter, activated charcoal filter or combination filter) are replaced accord­ing to the maintenance intervals listed. Under severe dust conditions, or with the Climate Control frequently operating in the air recirculation mode, the respective filter should be replaced correspondingly sooner.
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 to your vehicle’s tire configuration, tire rotation.
Tire rotation can be performed on vehicles with the same tire dimensions all around. If your vehicle is equipped with the same tire dimensions all around, tires can be rotated by observing a front-to­rear 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 staggered­size (different tire sizes, front vs. rear), tire rotations are not possible.

Page 9
If your vehicle’s tire configuration allows
Information Provided by:
for tire rotation, tire rotation should be performed in accordance with the tire manufacturer’s recommended intervals, or sooner at first signs of irregular (uneven) tread wear. Tire manufacturer’s rotation recommendations will necessitate a tire rotation at least once in between maintenance services and at every maintenance service based on Mercedes-Benz maintenance intervals
.
The first tire rotation, so long as it occurs before 6,500 miles (vehicle odometer), will be provided at no charge by an au­thorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center courtesy of Mercedes-Benz. Should a tire rotation not be possible for your vehicle’s tire configuration, an au­thorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center will check your tires for proper tire inflation pressure and perform a tread in­spection, also at no charge courtesy of Mercedes-Benz, so long as this occurs before 6,500 miles (vehicle odometer). 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.
Maintenance Booklet
Introduction
Spark Plugs should be replaced accord­ing to schedule on page 62. Severe oper­ating conditions (frequent starting and stopping, excessive idling, sustained fast highway driving) may call for spark plugs to be replaced correspondingly sooner.
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 Maintenance System. For a listing of approved engine oils and oil fil­ters, refer to the Factory Approved Serv­ice products pamphlet, or contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck­Center.
Using engine oils and oil filters of specification other than those expressly required for the Maintenance System or changing of oil and oil filter at change intervals longer than those called for by the Maintenance System will result in engine damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty

Regular checks
In addition to the services, we recom­mend that you check the following items regularly (for example: weekly, when re­fueling, or before any long journey):
• Engine oil level - Depending on how
your vehicle is equipped, check the en­gine oil level using either the oil dip­stick in the engine compartment, or the multifunction steering wheel/mul­tifunction display oil level check. Fur­ther information about engine oil level measurement can be found in the vehi­cle Operator’s Manual.
• Coolant level - Please refer to the Op-
erator’s Manual for the correct proce­dure to check the coolant level.
• Brake fluid level - If brake fluid has to
be added, see an authorized Mer­cedes-Benz Light Truck Center to de­termine the cause, e.g. leaks or worn brake pads.
• Windshield washing system - If the
washer fluid level drops below 1/3, the windshield washer fluid level warning lamp will illuminate. Add washer fluid mixed with Mercedes-Benz windshield washer solvent/concentrate, test function and check wiper blades.
• Check lights
• Tire condition and pressures –
Check at least every other week. Please refer to section “Tires and wheels” in the Operator’s Manual for guidelines and correct procedures to check tire condition and pressures.
Please refer to the Factory Approved Service Products booklet or see your Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center for more information on selecting the proper fluids, lubricants, filters and oils for your vehicle.

Emission System Maintenance
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agen­cy and, in California, the Air Resources Board have certified that the emission control systems of your vehicle comply with the applicable exhaust emission standards for MY 2008 vehicles. This ve­hicle also complies with the applicable Canadian Motor Vehicle Emission Stand­ards.
To be certain that the emission control systems function as designed, regular maintenance is necessary for compo­nents of the vehicle which affect exhaust and evaporation 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 page 65.

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 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 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) The specified engine maintenance
jobs have to be performed com­pletely and at the required inter­vals. Correct ignition timing and
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.

Emission System Maintenance
d) The operation of the emission con-
trol system must not be altered in any way. Alterations are not permissi-
ble by law. In addition, alterations may result in damage to the catalysts, in­creased fuel consumption, and im­paired engine running conditions.
e) Irregular engine running conditions
should be corrected immediately by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck 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.

If applicable to your vehicle’s tire configuration (see page 6), tire rotations should be performed in accordance with the tire manufacturer’s rec­ommended intervals, or sooner at first signs of irregular (uneven) treadwear. Tire manufacturer’s rotation recommendations will necessitate a tire rotation at least once in between maintenance services and at every maintenance service based on Mercedes-Benz maintenance intervals.

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 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.
0101 Engine oil and filter change
Change the engine oil and oil filter every 10,000 miles. If oil consumption should in­crease, determine the cause and take nec­essary corrective steps. Reset the Maintenance System counter.
0980 Replace air filter element
Under normal dust conditions, replace air filter element approximately every 40,000 miles or 4 years. Clean air filter cover and housing prior to removal of air filter ele­ment.
0780 Replace fuel filter
Replace the fuel filter approximately every 60,000 miles or 5 years.
1351 Check engine poly-V-belt condi­tion
The poly-V-belt is subject to wear and ag­ing. It must be checked for cracks and wear at every B-Service. Replace poly-V­belt if necessary.
1580 Replace spark plugs
Spark plugs are subject to electrode ero­sion and must be replaced according to schedule on page 62, or more frequently as may be required when subject to severe operating conditions.
