Introduction of the New GLK-Class (USA), Introduction into Service Manual for Model Series 204
v
Preface
Dear Reader,
This Introduction into Service Manual presents the
new GLK-Class in model series 204 for the US market.
The purpose of this manual is to inform you of the
technical highlights featured in this new vehicle in
advance of its market launch.
This brochure is mainly intended to provide informa-
tion 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 the new
and modified 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 Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS)
and in the Workshop Information System (WIS).
WIS is updated monthly. Therefore, the information
available there reflects the latest technical status of
our vehicles.
The Introduction into Service Manual presents initial
information relating to the GLK-Class in model series
204 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 of the information relating to specifications, equip-
ment and options are valid as of the publication dead-
line in October 2008 and may therefore differ from the
current production configuration.
