Emission System Maintenance - Mercedes-Benz Automobile Service Manual

Emission System Maintenance

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and, in
California, the Air Resources Board have certified that the
emission control system of your vehicle meets exhaust
emission standards for 2000. This vehicle also complies
with the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety and Emission
Standards.
To be certain that the emission control system functions
as designed, regular maintenance is necessary for all
components of the vehicle which affect exhaust emission
composition.
The vehicle owner is responsible for the regular mainte-
nance of the emission control system, as well as the use of
premium unleaded gasoline with an anti-knock index of at
least 91 (displayed on the pump) in all models.
Refer to your Service and Warranty Information booklet and
Operator's Manual for additional information.
Failure to properly maintain the emission system may
result in repairs not being covered by the emission systems
warranty.
Explanations of each maintenance job are given in numer-
ical order on pages 34-35.
