Emission Warranties Required By Law

Emission Control System Maintenance

General
The law requires your vehicle to conform
to exhaust emission standards. To provide
the best vehicle performance and lowest
vehicle emissions, you are responsible
to ensure that all recommended
maintenance procedures detailed in the
Maintenance Booklet are performed at
the specified times and mileages. The
emission control warranty does not cover
failures due solely to owner abuse or lack
of proper maintenance.
More frequent maintenance may be
needed for vehicles under severe
operating conditions such as dusty areas,
very short trip driving or trailer towing.
While maintenance service can be
performed by any qualified service outlet,
we recommend that all maintenance
services be performed by your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Dealership which is
equipped with the tools, instruments,
and literature necessary for correct
and systematic performance of these
services. Although warranty obligations
are not dependent upon the use of any
particular brand of replacement parts
and you may elect to use non-Genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts for replacement
purposes, we recommend the use
of Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts for
service and repairs, since they have been
made according to the manufacturer's
specifications.
It is also important to use only fuels and
lubricants meeting factory specifications,
since the emission systems warranty
does not cover repair or replacement
of parts necessitated by failure of such
items.
For detailed information concerning
emission control system maintenance,
please refer to your Maintenance Booklet.
If you should desire further information
concerning maintenance specifications
or emission control system maintenance
jobs, we recommend obtaining
maintenance related literature. Such
literature is available from either your
authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealership or
directly from MBUSA.
