Preface - Mercedes-Benz 949 Series Introduction Into Service Manual

Dear Reader,
This Introduction into Service Manual presents the
new Zetros, model series 949.
The purpose of this brochure is to acquaint you with
the technical highlights of these vehicles in advance of
their market launch. This brochure is intended to
provide information for people employed in service,
maintenance and repair as well as for aftersales staff.
It is assumed here that the reader is already familiar
with the Mercedes-Benz model series currently on the
market.
In terms of the contents, the emphasis in this Intro-
duction into Service Manual is on presenting new and
modified components and systems.
This Introduction into Service Manual is not intended
as an aid for repairs or for the diagnosis of technical
problems. For such needs, more extensive information
is available in the Workshop Information System (WIS)
and in the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS).
– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 10 / 2008 –
The New Zetros, Introduction into Service Manual for Model Series 949
WIS is updated monthly. Therefore, the information
available there reflects the latest technical status of
our vehicles.
This Introduction into Service Manual presents initial
information relating to the new Zetros in model series
949 and, as such, is not stored in WIS. The contents of
this brochure are not updated. No provision is made
for supplements.
We will publicize modifications and new features in the
relevant WIS documents. The information presented in
this Introduction into Service Manual may therefore
differ from the more up-to-date information found in
WIS.
All information relating to specifications, equipment
and options is valid as of the copy deadline in August
2008 and may therefore differ from the series produc-
tion configuration.
