These maintenance documents contain instructions relating to carrying out maintenance and repair operations
on Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. They are intended for the exclusive use of workshops affiliated to the
Mercedes-Benz Organization.
The instructions form the basis for proper and competent service and maintenance.
The nature in which the operations are described is based on the training standard of a fitter who has completed
vocational training and has good knowledge of our products. This level of knowledge is essential for carrying
out the described work.
The continuous further development and improvement of our vehicles may lead to deviations between the
actual technical status of the vehicles and the operation descriptions.
DaimlerChrysler AG reserves the right to make alterations and modifications at any time and without prior
notice.
If there are any open questions relating to repair procedures, please take up the matter with the competent
contact person in the relevant national organization (for DCVD refer to valid Service Information Group 99).
Additional information about the breakdown and structure of the work descriptions and the meaning of the
symbols (Logos) can be found in the Workshop Information System WIS.
Each described maintenance operation has a number (operation item) which is stated in the head line. The
operation item in the maintenance manual is identical with that on the SERVICE SHEET for the Active Service
System (ASSYST), enabling the appropriate texts and data to be found straight away if required when
performing maintenance jobs.
Maintenance operations which are not described have no number (operation item) on the SERVICE SHEET.
The group numbers familiar from the workshop literature are used for the first two digits of the 4-digit operation
item numbers. This ensures the assignment of each maintenance operation to the group.
