Emission System Maintenance

Gasoline EnginesThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency andin California, the Air Resources Board have cer-tified that the emission control systems of yourvehicle comply with the applicable exhaustemission standards.To ensure that the emission control systemoperates as intended, regular maintenancemust be performed on all vehicle componentsthat affect the composition of the exhaust gasand vapor emissions.The vehicle owner is responsible for the regularmaintenance of the emission control systemand for using premium-grade unleaded fuel withan octane number of at least 91 (specified onthe filling pump) in all models that have a gaso-line engine, unless otherwise stated.Refer to your Service and Warranty Informationbooklet and Operator's Manual for additionalinformation.

If maintenance work on the emission controlsystem is not carried out properly, this may leadto repairs that are not covered by the emissioncontrol system warranty.Explanations of each maintenance job are givenon (Y page 4).

Emission Control System Caution –Gasoline EnginesYour Mercedes-Benz vehicle is equipped withboth a three-way catalyst and a closed loop oxy-gen sensor system to comply with currentexhaust emission regulations. Keep your vehiclein proper operating condition by following ourrecommendedmaintenance instructions as out-lined.The following must be adhered to:a) In all gasoline engine models, use onlypremium unleaded gasoline with an anti-knock index of at least 91 (as displayed onthe pump) unless otherwise specified. Dam-age to the engine could occur if premium unlea-ded fuel is not used. Refer to the Operator’sManual for special precautions.b) Leaded gasoline should not be usedunder any circumstances. Damage to theemission control components will result.c) In non flex‑fuel capable gasoline engineequipped vehicles, ethanol blends greaterthan E10 should not be used. Damage to theengine could occur if improper fuels are used.Refer to the Operator’s Manual for special pre-cautions.d) In select models, the use of Ethanol (E85)is also permissible. Models capable of alsooperating with E85 are identified by a label onthe fuel filler flap reading ’Premium gasoline orE85 only!’.

Undernormal driving conditions, one tankful of DEFshould suffice until the next maintenance ser-vice.DEF is a non-flammable, non-toxic, colorlessand odorless, water-soluble liquid.

! Only use DEF complying with ISO 22241. Donot add special additives to DEF and do notdiluteDEFwithwater. Otherwise, the BlueTECexhaust gas aftertreatment system could bedamaged.

Description of Emission SystemMain-tenance Jobs

The composition of exhaust emissions is influ-enced not only by the special emission controlequipment, but also by various engine compo-nents and their adjustments.Therefore, emission system maintenance mustinclude these engine components. Some main-tenance jobs are actually only tests. They are

important however, because they allow earlydetection of discrepancies which can later leadto increased exhaust emissions. It is generallyless expensive to have such items adjustedimmediately rather than allowing them to con-tribute to costly repairs. The maintenance inter-vals have been determined so that the vehicle,under normal conditions, should operate prop-erly between services.
