Exception: A B-service is followed by another B-service, ifthe FSS calculates an oil change interval of more than14000 miles.

Service work not mileage dependent is listed in thissection Additional Work to be Performed.

A detail listing of service jobs is contained in this bookletfollowing the service records.

Special Service Measures

Brake fluid should be replaced every two years, prefer-ably in the spring, see page 32. It is recommended to useonly 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 sufficient protection beforethe start of and during the hot and cold seasons.Have the coolant (water/anticorrosion/antifreeze mixture)replaced every three years.

Dust filter should be replaced at the scheduled service.Under severe dust conditions, or with the AutomaticClimate Control frequently operating in the air recircula-tion mode, the dust filter should be replaced correspond-ingly sooner.

The performance of all scheduled service work isrequired to maintain your vehicle in good operatingcondition and is essential to keep your warrantly valid.While we do not insist that such work be performedby factory-authorized dealers, we strongly recommend

to have an authorized Mercedes-Benz li ght truck dealerdo such work because they are equipped with the tools,instruments, literature, and trained personnel neces-sary for correct and systematic performance of thesejobs.

Emission System Maintenance

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and, inCalifornia, the Air Resources Board have certified that theemission control system of your vehicle meets exhaustemission standards for 2000. This vehicle also complieswith the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety and Emission

Standards.To be certain that the emission control system functionsas designed, regular maintenance is necessary for allcomponents of the vehicle which affect exhaust emissioncomposition.

The vehicle owner is responsible for the regular mainte-nance of the emission control system, as well as the use ofpremium unleaded gasoline with an anti-knock index of atleast 91 (as displayed on the pump) in all models.

Refer to your Owners Service and Warranty Informationbooklet and Owners Manual for additional information.

Failure to properly maintain the emission system mayresult in repairs not being covered by the emission systemswarranty.

Explanations of each maintenance job are given in numer-ical order on pages 34-35.

Emission Control System Caution

Your Mercedes-Benz is equipped with both a three-way cat-alyst and a closed loop oxygen sensor system to complywith current exhaust emission regulations. Keep your vehi-cle in proper operating condition by following ourrecommended maintenance instructions as outlined.

The following has to be adhered to:

a. In all models, use only premium unleaded gasolinewith an anti-knock index of at least 91 (as displayedon the pump). Damage to the engine could occurif premium unleaded fuel is not used. Refer to theOperators Manual for special precautions.

b. Leaded gasoline should not be used under anycircumstances. Damage to the emission control com-ponents will result.

c. The specified engine maintenance jobs have to beperformed completely and at the required intervals.Correct ignition timing and properly functioning sparkplugs for instance are important for the service life ofthe catalysts. Failure to properly perform the specifiedmaintenance jobs may adversely affect the emissioncontrol system on the vehicle and reduce its service life.

8/22/2019 2000 Light Truck

13/39

d. The operation of the emission control system mustnot be altered in any way. Alterations are not permis-sible by law. In addition, alterations may result in dam-age to the catalysts, increased fuel consumption andimpaired engine running conditions.

e. Irregular engine running conditions should be cor-rected immediately at a qualified service station.Such irregular running conditions can influence theproper function of the emission control system.

CHECK ENGINE indicator lamp in the instrument clu-ster: If the lamp comes on when the engine is running, itindicates a malfunction of the engine management systemor emission control system.We recommend that you have the malfunction checked assoon as possible.

Description of Emission System Maintenance Jobs

The composition of exhaust emissions is influenced notonly by the special emission control equipment, but alsoby various engine components and their adjustments.

Therefore, emission system maintenance must includethese engine components. Some maintenance jobs are

actually only tests. They are important however, becausethey allow early detection of discrepancies which can laterlead to increase exhaust emissions. It is generally less

expensive to have such items adjusted immediately ratherthan allowing them to contribute to costly repairs.

The maintenance intervals have been determined so thatthe vehicle, under normal conditions, should operateproperly between services.
