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 SLR 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 service indicator, along with other main­tenance work described in this booklet.
We recommend that you have services performed by an authorized Mercedes­Benz Center using Genuine Mercedes­Benz parts.

Maintenance Booklet
Introduction
We want you to enjoy your Mercedes­Benz SLR. 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 required periodic maintenance work which is required for our vehicles.
Your Mercedes-Benz SLR comes equipped with the Mercedes-Benz SLR 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.
Additional work that is not calculated by the Maintenance System is required at each maintenance interval. Please refer to “Additional Work to be Performed” on page 58 for more details.
Following each service, your authorized Mercedes-Benz 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 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.

A detailed listing of service procedures performed are contained in this booklet, starting on page 49.
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 58. 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.
Special service requirements
Brake fluid should be replaced every two
years, preferably in the spring, see page
59. 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.
Maintenance Booklet
Introduction
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 every 4 years, see page 59.
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 Center.

Maintenance Booklet
Introduction
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 inspection - 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.
The first tire inspection, which includes checking for proper inflation pressure and tread condition, is at no charge pro­vided it is performed at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center prior to 6,500 miles on the vehicle odometer.
For your convenience, this Maintenance Booklet contains a tire inspection confir­mation page on which you can record the date and mileage when tire inspections were performed.
Tire rotation - Tire rotations can only be performed on vehicles with the same tire dimensions on all four wheels (e.g. winter tires). In cases where your vehicle is configured with staggered tire sizes (different tire sizes, front vs. rear), tire rotations are not possible.
If your vehicle’s tire configuration allows for rotation, tire rotation should be performed by observing a front-to-rear pattern that will maintain the intended rotational (spinning) direction of the tire (on unidirectional tires, an arrow on the sidewall indicates the intended rotation or spinning direction of the tire) and in accordance with the tire manufacturer’s recommended intervals, or sooner at first signs of irregular (uneven) tread wear.

Introduction
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 SLR maintenance intervals
The first tire rotation is at no charge pro­vided it is performed at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center prior to 6,500 miles on the 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.
Spark Plugs should be replaced accord­ing to schedule on page 60. 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 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 Center.
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 Mercedes­Benz 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 - Check the engine oil
level using the engine oil dipstick. 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 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.

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 model year 2006 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 in numerical order on page 63.

Maintenance Booklet
Emission System Maintenance
Emission Control System Caution ­Gasoline Engines
Your Mercedes-Benz SLR 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.

Maintenance Booklet
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 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.
