Engine system

In these Operating Instructions, the term

engine and the emission control system are
parts that require certification. The engine sys-
tem is certified as one unit with the engine and
exhaust gas aftertreatment unit assemblies as

well as the AdBlue

Protection of the environment

Environmental note
Daimler AG has a declared policy of compre-
hensive environmental protection.
The objectives are to use the natural resour-
ces which form the basis of our existence on
this planet sparingly and in a manner which
takes the requirements of both nature and
humanity into account.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your vehicle in an environmen-
tally responsible manner.
Information and notes on driving in an environ-
mentally responsible and fuel-saving manner
can be found in the "Operating notes" section
( page 34).

Assembly equipment

These Operating Instructions describe all mod-
els and all standard and optional equipment
available for your engine system at the time of
publication of the Operating Instructions. Coun-
try-specific deviations are possible. Note that
your engine system may not be fitted with all
features described. This also applies to safety-
relevant systems and functions. Therefore, the
equipment on your engine system may differ
from certain descriptions and illustrations.
All of the components in your engine system are
listed in the data card of your engine system.

Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts

H
Environmental note
Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned
assemblies and parts which are of the same
quality as new parts. For these, the same war-
ranty applies as for new parts.
If you use parts which have not been approved
by Mercedes-Benz, the operational safety of the
engine system may be jeopardised. This could
lead to malfunctions in safety-relevant systems.
Use only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts or parts
of equal quality. Only use parts that have been
approved for your engine type.

parts for:

Despite ongoing market research, Mercedes-
Benz is unable to assess other parts. Mercedes-
Benz therefore accepts no responsibility for the
use of such parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles,
even if they have been officially approved or
independently approved by a testing centre.
In Germany, certain parts are only officially
approved for installation or modification if they
comply with legal requirements. This also
applies to some other countries. All genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts meet the approval
requirements. The use of non-approved parts
may invalidate the vehicle's general operating
permit.
This is the case if:
they result in a change to the vehicle type
R
from that for which the vehicle's general oper-
ating permit was granted
they pose a possible risk for road users
R
they adversely affect the emission or noise

levels
Always specify the assembly system ID number
(AGS ID), the engine number and the number of
the exhaust gas aftertreatment unit when order-
ing genuine Mercedes-Benz parts. You can also
find these numbers on the data card
( page 61).
