About this manual - Its purpose
The purpose of this manual is to help you get the best value from your vehicle. It can do so in several ways. It can help you decide what work must be done, even if you choose to have it done by a dealer service department or a repair shop; it provides information and procedures for routine maintenance and servicing; and it offers diagnostic and repair procedures to follow when trouble occurs.
We hope you use the manual to tackle the work yourself. For many simpler jobs, doing it yourself may be quicker than arranging an appointment to get the vehicle into a shop and making the trips to leave it and pick it up. More importantly, a lot of money can be saved by avoiding the expense the shop must pass on to you to cover its labor and overhead costs.
An added benefit is the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that you feel after doing the job yourself.


Introduction to the Mercedes-Benz 190
The Mercedes-Benz 190 was introduced in North America in 1984.
The innovative new model heralded a departure from traditional Mercedes thinking, and marked the first venture into the medium-sized sedan market by one of the world's most respected manufacturers of large quality cars.
The models covered by this manual feature traditional, solid, practical Mercedes design and engineering, with new advances in automotive technology, foremost among them being the meticulous attention to ride quality and handling. This has been achieved by further refining the proven MacPherson strut front suspension arrangement, used extensively by other manufacturers but not previously by Mercedes, and combining this with a new multi-link independent rear suspension.
The model range is not extensive, offering just one body style, but with a choice of engines and options to enhance the package. The cars covered by this manual are all four door sedans powered by a four cylinder overhead camshaft fuel injected engine. The engine is mounted longitudinally, and drives the rear wheels through a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.
