Natural resources form the basis of our ex-
istence 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 environ-
mental protection. This policy starts at the
root causes and encompasses in its man-
agement decisions all the consequences
for the environment which could arise from
production processes or the products
themselves.
You too can help to protect the environ-
ment 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, sudden 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 car's fuel consump-
tion.
A regularly serviced car will also help pro-
tect the environment. You should adhere
to the service intervals that the Flexible
Service System (FSS) displays in the in-
strument cluster, along with other mainte-
nance work described in this booklet.
Always have services performed by an au-
thorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

We want you to enjoy your Mercedes-Benz
automobile. Vehicle safety and operational
reliability are two very important factors
and to maintain them, a certain amount of
service and maintenance is 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 comes equipped with
the Flexible Service System (FSS), which
evaluates engine temperature, oil level, ve-
hicle speed, engine speed, distance driven
and the time elapsed since your last serv-
ice. It determines when your vehicle needs
basic engine maintenance and alerts you
well in advance. Other maintenance work
is also required when engine maintenance
is indicated. The next necessary FSS serv-
ice is indicated in the instrument cluster.
There are two types of maintenance servic-
es for your vehicle, a (minor) A-service,
and a (major) B-service. Additional work
that is not calculated by the FSS system is
required at both A- and B-service intervals.
Please refer to Additional Work to be Per-
formed on page 22 for more details.
Under normal circumstances the driven
distance between services is an average of
approximately 12 000 miles. Under most
circumstances, A- and B-services will be
called for by FSS alternatively, i.e. an A-
service will be followed by a B-service
which will be followed again by an A-serv-
ice.
Exception: A B-service will be followed by
another B-service if the FSS calculates an
oil change interval of 14 000 miles or
more.
Following each A- or B-service, your Mer-
cedes-Benz Center will reset the FSS coun-
ter. The next service is indicated in the
instrument cluster (see chapter Flexible
Service System in your Operators Manu-
al).
Tire rotations should be performed in accord-
ance with the tire manufacturers recommen-
dations. Please refer to the tire pamphlet
included in your vehicle literature portfolio.
Wear items such as, but not limited to, en-
gine belts, tire wear and rotation, wiper
blades, wiper rubber inserts, brake discs,
brake pads, brake pad wear sensors,
clutch discs and clutch pressure plates are
not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Mainte-
nance Commitment.
A detailed listing of service procedures
performed are contained in this booklet,
starting on page 13.

Service Booklet
Additional work
Additional work means any work that is not
calculated by the Flexible Service System
computer. This work is listed in the section
Additional Work to be Performed (see
page 22). This type of work has to be car-
ried out according to the individual vehicle
type, due to the specific technical parame-
ters, wear processes or special equipment
on each different vehicle.
Special service requirements
Brake fluid should be replaced every two
years, preferably in the spring, see page
24. We recommend that you only use
brake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz. A
reminder for the next scheduled brake flu-
id replacement is affixed in the engine
compartment.
Coolant should be checked for the proper
concentration before the start of the win-
ter season (or once a year in hot regions).
Have the coolant (water/ MB 325.0 anti-
corrosion/ antifreeze mixture) replaced at
every 150,000 miles or 15 years, whichev-
er comes first, see page 23.
Interior filters (e.g. dust filter, recirculat-
ing air filter, activated charcoal filter or
combination filter) are replaced as part of
the B-service. Under severe dust condi-
tions, or with the Automatic Climate Con-
trol frequently operating in the air
recirculation mode, the dust filter should
be replaced correspondingly sooner and
changed more frequently than as called for
by the FSS. Such additional service is not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz Maintenance
Commitment.
Tire rotations should be performed in ac-
cordance with the tire manufacturers rec-
ommendations. Please note that the useful
life of tires will also vary dependingon tire
type, speed rating, road surfaces, and indi-
vidual driving style. Tire rotations are not cov-
ered by the Mercedes-Benz Maintenance
Commitment.
Spark Plugs should be replaced according
to schedule on page 25. Severe operating
conditions (frequent starting and stopping,
excessive idling, sustained fast highway driv-
ing) may call for spark plugs to be replaced
correspondingly sooner. Such additional
service is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Maintenance Commitment.

Regular checks
In addition to the services, we recommend
that you check the following items regular-
ly (for example: weekly, when refueling, or
before any long journey):
Engine oil level - Check the engine oil
level using either the oil dipstick in the
engine compartment, or the multi-func-
tion steering wheel oil level check. Fur-
ther information about engine oil level
measurement can be found in the vehi-
cle Operators Manual.
Coolant level - Please refer to the Oper-
ators 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 func-
tion and check wiper blades.
Check lights
Tire condition and pressures Check
at least every other week.
Please refer to the Factory Approved Serv-
ice Products booklet or see your Mer-
cedes-Benz Center for more information
on selecting the proper fluids, lubricants,
and oils for your vehicle.

Service Booklet
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 2003 vehicles. This vehicle also com-
plies with the applicable Canadian Motor
Vehicle Emission Standards.
To be certain that the emission control sys-
tems function as designed, regular mainte-
nance is necessary for components of the
vehicle which affect exhaust and evapora-
tion emissions composition.
The vehicle owner is responsible for the
regular maintenance of the emission con-
trol system, as well as the use of premium
unleaded gasoline with an anti-knock in-
dex of at least 91 (displayed on the pump)
in all models unless otherwise specified.

Failure to properly maintain the emission
system may result in repairs not being cov-
ered by the emission system warranties.
Explanations of each maintenance job are
given in numerical order on page 26.
!
Select models are Flexible Fuel Vehi-
cles. In addition to unleaded premium
gasoline as described above, such vehi-
cles may also be operated on Ethanol
fuel (E85) or a mixture of the two. Mod-
els capable of operating with E85 are
identified by a label reading Premium
gasoline or E85 only! on the fuel filler
flap. Do not use Ethanol fuel (E85) to
operate any vehicle unless the vehicle
is specifically identified as Ethanol fuel
(E85) compatible.

Emission Control System Caution
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 con-
dition by following our recommended
maintenance instructions as outlined.
The following has to be adhered to:
a) In all models, use only premium un-
leaded gasoline with an anti-knock
index of at least 91 (as displayed on
the pump) unless otherwise speci-
fied. Damage to the engine could occur
if premium unleaded fuel is not used.
Refer to the Operators Manual for spe-
cial precautions.
b) In select models, the use of Ethanol
fuel (E85) is also permissible. Models
capable of also operating with E85 are
identified by a label reading Premium
gasoline or E85 only! on the fuel filler
flap. Do not use Ethanol fuel (E85) to op-
erate any vehicle unless it is specifically
identified as Ethanol fuel (E85) compat-
ible. Damage to the engine could occur
if improper fuels are used. Refer to the
Operators Manual for special precau-
tions.
c) Leaded gasoline should not be used
under any circumstances. Damage to
the emission control components will
result.
d) The specified engine maintenance
jobs have to be performed complete-
ly and at the required intervals. Cor-
rect ignition timing and properly
functioning spark plugs for instance are
important for the service life of the cat-
alysts. Failure to properly perform the
specified maintenance jobs may ad-
versely affect the emission control sys-
tem on the vehicle and reduce its
service life.
e) 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, in-
creased fuel consumption, and im-
paired engine running conditions.
f) Irregular engine running conditions
should be corrected immediately by
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Such irregular running conditions can in-
fluence the proper function of the emis-
sion control system.
If the CHECK ENGINE indicator lamp in
the instrument cluster illuminates when
the engine is running, it indicates a possi-
ble malfunction of the engine management
system or emission control system.
We recommend that you have the malfunc-
tion checked as soon as possible.

Description of Emission System Maintenance J obs
The composition of exhaust emissions is
influenced not only by the special emission
control equipment, but also by various en-
gine components and their adjustments.
Therefore, emission system maintenance
must include these engine components.
Some maintenance jobs are actually only
tests. They are important however, be-
cause they allow early detection of dis-
crepancies which can later lead to
increased exhaust emissions. It is general-
ly less expensive to have such items ad-
justed immediately rather than allowing
them to contribute to costly repairs. The
maintenance intervals have been deter-
mined so that the vehicle, under normal
conditions, should operate properly be-
tween services.
0101 Engine oil and filter change
Change the engine oil and oil filter as indi-
cated by the FSS service indicator in the in-
strument cluster. If oil consumption should
increase, determine the cause and take
necessary corrective steps. Reset FSS
counter.
0980 Replace air filter element
Under normal dust conditions, replace air
filter element approximately every 60,000
miles or 4 years. Clean air filter cover and
housing prior to removal of air filter ele-
ment.
0780 Replace fuel filter
Replace the fuel filter approximately every
60,000 miles or 5 years.
1351 Check engine poly-V-belt condi-
tion
The poly-V-belt is subject to wear and ag-
ing. It must be checked for cracks and
wear at every B-service. Replace poly-V-
belt if necessary.
1580 Replace spark plugs
Spark plugs are subject to electrode ero-
sion and must be replaced according to
schedule on page 25, or more frequently
as may be required when subject to severe
operating conditions.
