Maintenance Booklet4We want you to enjoy your Mercedes-
Benz SLR. Vehicle safety and operational
reliability are two very important factors
and to maintain them, regular
maintenance services are necessary.
We continuously strive to improve our
product, and ask for your understanding
that we reserve the right to make
changes in the required periodic
maintenance work which is required for
our vehicles.
Your Mercedes-Benz SLR comes
equipped with the Mercedes-Benz SLR
Maintenance System. The Maintenance
System tracks distance driven and the
time elapsed since your last service. The
next necessary maintenance service is
indicated in the maintenance service
indicator in the instrument cluster.
Additional work that is not calculated by
the Maintenance System is required at
each maintenance interval. Please refer
to “Additional Work to be Performed” on
page 58 for more details.Following each service, your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center will reset the
Maintenance System service indicator by
confirming the service items performed.
!If the Maintenance System service
counter was inadvertently reset, have
a Mercedes-Benz Center correct it.
Please only reset if the proper
maintenance service has been
performed. Resetting the system
without performing the proper service
will result in engine and/or other
vehicle damage not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

Emission System Maintenance
d) The operation of the emission con-
trol system must not be altered in
any way. Alterations are not permissi-
ble by law. In addition, alterations may
result in damage to the catalysts, in-
creased fuel consumption, and im-
paired engine running conditions.
e) Irregular engine running conditions
should be corrected immediately by
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Cent-
er. Such irregular running conditions
can influence the proper function of the
emission control system.
If the “CHECK ENGINE” indicator lamp in
the instrument cluster illuminates when
the engine is running, it indicates a possi-
ble malfunction of the engine manage-
ment system or emission control system.
We recommend that you have the mal-
function checked as soon as possible.
