Mercedes-Benz 190 E2.3 1985 Owner's Manual
Drive Sensibly - Save Fuel
Fuel consumption depends to a great
extent on driving habits and operating
conditions.
In order to save fuel you should:
• ensure that tire pressures are
correct
• not carry unnecessary loads
• remove ski racks or roofmounted
luggage racks when not in use
• not warm up your engine at idle and
with the vehicle at standstill
• avoid frequent acceleration and
deceleration
• shift gears on time, do not exceed
2A of the individual gears' max.
speed
• have all the maintenance jobs
specified by us carried out at
regular intervals by an authorized
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer.
Driving in low temperature weather, in
stop-and-go city traffic and on short
hops, and in hilly country as well,
increases fuel consumption.

The First 1500 km/1000 Miles
The more cautiously you treat your
engine during the break-in period, the
more satisfied you will be with its per
formance later on. Therefore, drive
your vehicle during the first 1500 km/
1000 miles at moderate vehicle and
engine speeds.
During this period, avoid heavy loads
(full throttle driving) and high RPMs (no
more than % of maximum permissible
speed in each gear).
Down shift at proper engine speed!
On vehicles with automatic transmis
sion avoid accelerating by kick-down.
It is not recommended to brake the
vehicle by manually shifting to a lower
gear. We recommend to select posi
tions “3” or “2" only at moderate
speeds (for hill driving).
After 1500 km/1000 miles, speeds may
gradually be increased to the permis
sible maximum.

Catalytic Converter Cautions
Your MERCEDES-BENZ is equipped
with monolithic catalytic converters, an
important element in conjunction with
the 0 2-sensor to achieve substantial
control of the pollutants in the exhaust
emissions. Keep your vehicle in proper
operating condition by following our
recommended maintenance instruc
tions as outlined in your maintenance
booklet.
Should any noticeable irregularities in
the engine operation occur, excessive
unburned fuel may reach the converter
causing it to overheat. For the same
reason we caution against refueling
with leaded gasoline.
As with any vehicle, do not idle, park,
or operate this vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as grass,
hay or leaves can come in contact
with a hot exhaust system, as these
materials could be ignited.
12
Starting and Turning off the Engine
Engage parking brake before starting
the engine.
Move gearshift lever to neutral (selec
tor lever positions “P” or “N” on auto
matic transmissions).
Turn key in steering lock to position 2.
The charge indicator lamp must come
on.
Cold and Hot Engine
Turn key in steering lock clockwise to
the stop. Do not depress accelerator.
Release key only when the engine is
finng regularly.
Turning off
Turn the key in the steering lock to
position 0 and only remove the key
when the vehicle is at standstill.
If the coolant temperature is very high
(e.g. after hard driving on mountain
roads), do not shut off the engine
immediately, allow it to run for 1 -2
minutes at increased idle speed.
Hints:
Due to the installed starter non-repeat
unit, the key in the steering lock must
be returned to 0 position before making
a new starting attempt.
Observe the oil pressure gauge
immediately after starting the engine.
In a very cold engine the oil pressure
will only rise slowly, some time after the
engine has started. Do not speed up
the engine before pressure is regis
tered on the pressure gauge.
The charge indicator lamp must go out
as soon as the engine has started.
Should too much fuel have entered the
engine due to several unsuccessful
starting attempts and the engine will no
longer fire, depress the accelerator
while starling. Back off the accelerator
only when the engine is firing regularly.
In areas where temperatures fre
quently drop below -25°C/-13°F, we
recommend that a block heater is
installed. Every MERCEDES-BENZ
dealer will advise you on this subject.
13
Hints for Driving
Power assistance
When the engine is not running, both
the service brake and the steering are
without power assistance. Under these
circumstances, a much greater effort is
necessary to steer or stop the vehicle.
Tires
Do not allow your tires to wear down
too far. With less than 3 mm/'/e in of
tread, the antiskid properties on a wet
road are sharply reduced.
Depending upon the weather and/or
road pavement, the traction varies
widely.
Specified tire pressures must be main
tained. This applies particularly if the
tires are subjected to high loads (e.g.
high speeds, heavy loads, high
ambient temperatures).
Aquaplaning
Depending on the depth of the water
layer on the road, aquaplaning may
occur, even at low speeds. Avoid track
grooves in the road and apply brakes
cautiously in the rain.
Tire friction
A given speed at which a vehicle driven
on dry roads can still be fully controlled
must be reduced when the same vehi
cle is to be driven safely on a wet or icy
road.
You should pay particular attention to
the condition of the road as soon as the
prevailing temperatures fall close to the
freezing point.
If ice has formed on the road, tire trac
tion will be substantially reduced.
Under such weather conditions, drive,
steer and brake particularly carefully.
We recommend M+S-radial-ply tires
for the cold season. On packed snow,
they can reduce your stopping distance
as compared with summer tires. Stop
ping distance, however, is nevertheless
considerably greater than when the
road is wet or dry.
Brakes
When driving down long and steep
declines, relieve the brakes by shifting
into a lower speed (selector lever posi
tion “3” or “2" in the case of automatic
transmissions). This prevents over
heating of the brakes and reduces
brake pad wear.
After hard braking it is advisable to
drive on for some time so the air
stream will cool down the brakes
faster.
When driving in heavy rain for some
time without applying the brakes, the
first braking action may be somewhat
reduced and increased pedal pressure
may be necessary. For this reason,
stay further away from vehicle in front.
The condition of the parking brake sys
tem is checked each time the car is in
the shop for maintenance.
Between maintenance checks it is a
good practice to apply the parking
brake once or twice while driving at ap
proximately 50 km/h/30 mph on a dry
road. Apply brake lightly until a slight
drag on the wheels is felt. Keep apply
ing brakes for about 10 seconds while
holding release button in before releas
ing parking brake completely.
14
This practice will keep the parking
brake at maximum efficiency.
Warning!
The stop lamps will not come on when
applying the parking brake only. Apply
parking brake only when road behind
vehicle is clear of traffic.
All checks and maintenance work on
the brake system should be carried out
by a MERCEDES-BENZ dealer.
If the parking brake is released and the
brake warning lamp in the instrument
cluster stays on, the brake fluid ievel in
the reservoir is too low.
Brake pad wear or a leak in the system
may be the reason for low brake fluid in
the reservoir.
Have the brake system inspected at an
authorized MERCEDES-BENZ dealer.
Install only brake pads recommended
by us.
If other than recommended brake pads
are installed, the braking properties of
the vehicle can be affected to an extent
that the safety is substantially im
paired.
Driving Hints During the Winter
Season
The most important rule for slippery or
icy roads is to drive sensibly and to
avoid abrupt acceleration, braking and
steering action. Do not use the cruise
control system under such conditions.
When the vehicle is in danger of skid
ding, declutch or - in case of an auto
matic transmission - move selector
lever to position "N". Try to keep the
vehicle under control by means of
corrective steering action.
Provided the traffic conditions will
allow, only brake in a way that the
wheels are locked for no more than
fractions of a second as otherwise the
steerability of the vehicle is lost.
Road salts and chemicals can adver
sely affect braking efficiency. Increas
ed pedal force may become necessary
to produce the normal brake effect. We
therefore recommend depressing the
brake pedal repeatedly when traveling
on saltstrewn roads at length. This can
bring road salt impaired braking effi
ciency back to normal. A prerequisite
is, however, that this is possible with
out endangering other drivers on the
road.
If the vehicle is parked after being driv
en on salt treated roads, the braking
efficiency should be tested as soon as
possible after driving is resumed while
adhering to the safety requirements.

MERCEDES-BENZ Maintenance System
A maintenance booklet is delivered
with your car listing all the maintenance
jobs that must be carried out after the
following mileages:
Routine Maintenance
Inspection at
1300-1600 km/800-1000 miles
Lubrication Service every
12 000 km/7500 miles
Maintenance Service every
24 000 km/15 000 miles
Additional Work every
48 000 km/30 000 miles
In the case of low mileage operation,
the Maintenance Service must be car
ried out at least once every 2 years.
Engine Oil and Filter Change
Required every 12 000 km/7500 miles,
or at least once a year when using
year-round multigrade oil; otherwise at
least twice a year (spring and fall).
For engine oil recommendations, see
page 90.
Severe Operating Conditions
In the case of severe operating condi
tions or heavy use mainly in city traffic
or over short distances, frequent
mountain driving, poor roads, dusty
and muddy conditions, trailer opera
tion, hard and sporty driving etc., it may
be necessary to carry out maintenance
work at shorter than normal intervals,
as follows:
Engine: Oil change with filter change
every 6000 km/3750 miles
Automatic transmission: Fluid change
without filter change every 24 000 km/
15 000 miles
Tires: Inspect
Air cleaner: Clean or replace element
Special Maintenance Measures
Brake fluid should be replaced annu
ally, preferably in the spring.
It is recommended to use only brake
fluid approved by MERCEDES-BENZ.
The coolant should be checked for
sufficient protection before the start of
and during the cold season. Have the
coolant (water/anticorrosion/antifreeze
mixture) replaced at least every three
years (see “Fuels, Coolants, Lubri
cants, etc.”).
Maintenance Vouchers
Your authorized MERCEDES-BENZ
dealer will certify in the maintenance
booklet that all lubrication and mainte
nance services have been carried out

you carry the flat key with you
and keep it in a safe place
so that it is always handy, if
needed (e.g. in your wallet).
Never leave the flat key in the
vehicle.
Obtaining Replacement Keys
You are given 4 keys with your vehicle.
Replacement keys can be obtained
only via an authorized MERCEDES-
BENZ dealer. For security reasons,
obtaining replacement keys requires
considerable time.

Central Locking System
The entire vehicle may be locked
or unlocked with the central locking
system:
• Using the master key, supplemen
tary key, or by pushing down or
pulling up the interior door lock
buttons at the front doors.
• From the trunk using the master
>
key only.
The central locking system allows you
to lock or unlock all doors, trunk lid and
f
uel filler flap simultaneously.
Doors
When you lock the car, all door lock
buttons should move down. If any one
stays up, the respective door was not
properly closed. You should then
unlock the car, open and re-close this
door, and lock the car again.
Note:
The central locking system can be
engaged from the driver-side door lock
button, provided the door is completely
closed. It can also be engaged from the
passenger-side if the key is removed,
or engaged in the steering lock without
being turned (key in position 0).
Trunk
To unlock the trunk with the central
locking system, turn the master key in
the trunk lock completely to the left and
let it return to the normal position. Push
in trunk lock button and open the trunk.
To lock the trunk, turn the master key
completely to the right and let it return
to the normal position.
The trunk can remain locked while
the central locking system is unlocked
(e.g. while driving or when leaving
the car in a situation where it must be
driven using the supplementary key but
you wish the trunk to remain locked at
parking lots, workshops, etc.). Turn the
master key compjetely to the right and
pull it out in that position. Now the trunk
can only be unlocked with the master
key by turning it back to the left.
Important!
Contrary to prior model year vehicles,
if the trunk is unlocked with the central
locking system engaged, the doors
and fuel filler flap will also be unlocked.
After closing the trunk, the central
locking system must again be engaged
using the key!
Note:
If the fuel filler flap cannot be opened,
refer to “Unlocking of Fuel Filler Flap”
(page 73).
26
Anti-Theft Alarm System
The anti-theft alarm can be armed or
disarmed with the master key (iden
tified by red dot) by locking or un
locking either front door or the trunk.
Operation
Once the alarm system has been
armed, the vehicle lamps will flash and
the horn will sound intermittently when
an unauthorized person tries to:
• open a door
• open the trunk
• remove the radio
• switch on or bridge the steering
lock
• step on the brake pedal
• raise the vehicle, i.e. towing away.
The alarm will last approximately
150 seconds in the form of blinking
exterior lamps. At the same time an
additional horn will sound intermit
tently for 60 seconds, and repeat for
another 60 seconds after a 30 second
pause.
The alarm will stay on even if the
arming element (a door, for example)
is immediately closed.
To avoid setting off the alarm uninten
tionally, do not arm the alarm system
in the following situations; e.g.: auto
ferry, auto train, when hitching/un
hitching a trailer, or heavy loading/
unloading. For this purpose use the
supplementary key and not the master
key for locking the vehicle.
Special function
To activate the anti-theft alarm from the
trunk, turn the master key in the trunk
lock completely to the right and pull it
out in this position.
If you want the alarm system to be
armed at the trunk only, turn the master
key in the trunk lock completely to the
right and pull it out in that position.
Then disarm the rest of the vehicle by
unlocking either front door with the
master key. You can now lock or un
lock the doors and filler flap, as well as
start the engine, in the usual manner
using the supplementary key.
Do not give the master key to an un
authorized person. We recommend
that you carry the flat key safely with
you (e. g. in your wallet) so that it is
always handy, if needed. This key has
the same function as the master key.
