Service and Warranty
Maybach New Vehicle Limited Warranty - Things You Should Know
General
Our intention is to repair under warranty, without charge to you, anything that
goes wrong with your vehicle during the
warranty period which is our fault. All
we ask is that you properly maintain and
care for the vehicle and that you have
warranty repairs performed by an authorized Maybach Studio.
Please note the difference between “defects” and “damage” as used in the warranty. Defects are covered since we, the
distributor, are responsible. Conversely,
we have no control over damage caused
by such things as, but not limited to collision, misuse, and lack of or improper
maintenance. Therefore, damage for
whatever reason is not covered by the
warranty.
It is the owner’s responsibility to
maintain the vehicle according to the
Maintenance Schedule provided. All
maintenance services must be accomplished to keep your warranty coverage
valid. When requesting service or repair
work under warranty, the owner must
present to the authorized Maybach Studio evidence that the periodic servicing
requirements have been accomplished.
Receipts covering completion of required servicing should be retained in
the event a question arises concerning
maintenance.
This signature is evidence of completion
of the maintenance services and should
be kept together with other receipts, repair orders and invoices.
If the owner has a warranty claim and
can show through receipted invoices
that the vehicle has received the required servicing, the dealer will perform
the warranty work without charging for
parts and labor. It is the responsibility of
the owner to prove and the dealer to
judge whether the required maintenance service has been performed.
These receipts should be transferred to
each subsequent owner of the vehicle.
For your convenience, the Maintenance
Booklet has been designed to incorporate the signature of your authorized
Maybach Studio upon completion of the
required maintenance services.
17
Service and Warranty
Maybach New Vehicle Limited Warranty - Things You Should Know
MBUSA’s obligation is limited to the authorization to exchange or repair at its
option such parts which are acknowledged by it to be defective. In case of defective assemblies, factory rebuilt units
can be used in exchange instead of their
repair. The replaced defective parts or assemblies shall become the property of
MBUSA. Warranty repairs do not constitute an extension of the original warranty period for the vehicle or a part
thereof.
18
Insurance Write-Off; or Repaired or
Replaced Parts
Paint and Other Appearance Items
Any vehicle which has been damaged to
such an extent that the owner, insurer,
financing institution or leasing company
determined the vehicle to be a “total
loss”, “write off” or equivalent, is not
covered by this warranty. This includes
but is not limited to vehicles issued a
“salvage”, “scrap”, “dismantled” or similar title under any state’s law.
Defects in paint, trim or other appearance items are normally taken care of
during our new vehicle preparation or by
the dealer during new vehicle inspection. We suggest that if you find any
paint or appearance problems that you
advise your dealer as soon as possible
since deterioration due to use and exposure is not covered by the warranty.
Any parts repaired or replaced under an
insurance claim or required as a result of
events which are not covered under this
warranty (see “Items Which Are Not Covered”, page 15), for example, damages
due to accidents, misuse, or negligence,
and in either case, any subsequent consequential damage to the vehicle are not
covered by this warranty.
The instructions in your Operator’s Manual regarding the care of paint, upholstery and trim items, as applicable, must
be followed explicitly to maintain your
warranty coverage.
Service and Warranty
Maybach New Vehicle Limited Warranty - Things You Should Know
Body Repair Information
Customer Repair Orders
Due to the materials and assembly procedures used in the production of Maybach
vehicles, it is strongly recommended that
any paint work/body repairs be performed only by those repair facilities
which have been certified by MBUSA as
having the tools, equipment and training necessary to perform such repairs.
Please contact 1-866-FOR-MAYBach for
additional details.
Your servicing dealer will give you a copy
of the Repair Order on all warranty
repairs performed. Please keep this copy
with your vehicle records.
19
Service and Warranty
Emission Control System Maintenance
General
The law requires your vehicle to conform
to exhaust emission standards. To provide the best vehicle performance and
lowest vehicle emissions, you are responsible to see that all recommended maintenance procedures detailed in the
Maintenance Booklet are performed at
the specified times and mileages. The
emission control warranty does not cover
failures due solely to owner abuse or lack
of proper maintenance.
More frequent maintenance may be
needed for vehicles under severe operating conditions such as dusty areas, very
short trip driving or trailer towing.
20
While maintenance service can be performed by any qualified service outlet,
we recommend that all maintenance
services be performed by your authorized Maybach Studio who is equipped
with the tools, instruments, and literature necessary for correct and systematic
performance of these services. Although
warranty obligations are not dependent
upon the use of any particular brand of
replacement parts and you may elect to
use non-genuine Maybach parts for replacement purposes, we recommend the
use of genuine Maybach parts for service
and repairs, since they have been made
according to the manufacturer’s specifications. It is also important to use only
fuels and lubricants meeting factory
specifications, since the emission systems
warranty does not cover repair or replacement of parts necessitated by failure of such items.
For detailed information concerning
emission control system maintenance,
please refer to your Maintenance Booklet. If you should desire further information concerning tune-up specifications or
emission control system maintenance
jobs, we recommend obtaining maintenance-relevant literature. Such literature
will be available from either your Maybach Studio or directly from MercedesBenz USA, LLC.

Service and Warranty
Emission Performance Warranty (Federal) - Things You Should Know
General
You may present a claim under this warranty immediately after your vehicle has
failed an EPA approved emission short
test if, as a result of that failure, you are
required by law to repair the vehicle to
avoid the imposition of a penalty or sanction. You do not need to suffer the loss
of the right to use the vehicle, pay a fine,

of the reason for any denial of your
claim.
Your dealer is required by law to honor
your claim if such notice of denial is not
received by you within said time period.
You may obtain further information concerning the emission performance warranty or report violations of the terms of
the Emission Performance Warranty by

NOTE: The Emission Performance Warranty is required by Federal Law, and is
effective only to the extent required by
that law. To the extent the underlying
law is suspended or amended, this Warranty is automatically altered in the

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA)
warrants to the original and each
subsequent owner of a new Maybach
passenger vehicle that:
a. if the vehicle is maintained and
operated in accordance with MBUSA’s
written instructions for required
maintenance and use, and
24
b. if the vehicle fails to conform at any
time during 8 years or 80,000 miles,
whichever first occurs, to the applicable
emission standards as ascertained by an
EPA-approved emission short test, and
c. if such non-conformity results or will
result in the vehicle owner having to
bear any penalty or other sanction
(including the denial of the right to use
the vehicle) under local, State or Federal
law, then any authorized Maybach
Studio during the first 24 months or
24,000 miles will make any repairs or
replacements necessary to specified
systems/components to correct the nonconformity or so that the vehicle will pass
the smog check test at no charge for

Studio will correct only those deficiencies
directly related to the specified
components in the attached list which
have been installed in or on the vehicle
for the sole or primary purpose of
reducing vehicle emissions and that were
not in general use prior to Model Year

Service and Warranty
Emission Performance Warranty (Federal)
Parts replaced under this warranty become the property of the warrantor. The
warranty period starts on the date the
vehicle is delivered to the first retail purchaser or put into service as a dealer
demonstrator or MBUSA or MBSC company vehicle.
The emission control system of your new
Maybach passenger vehicle was designed, built and tested using genuine
Maybach parts and the vehicle is certified
as being in conformity with Federal emission control regulations and requirements. Accordingly, it is recommended
that any replacement parts used for
maintenance, repair or replacement of
emission related components be genuine
Maybach parts or Authorized Remanufactured Parts.
The owner may elect to have maintenance, replacement or repair of the
emission control devices and systems performed by any automotive repair
establishment or individual, and may
elect to use other than genuine Maybach
Parts or Authorized Remanufactured
Parts for such maintenance, replacement
or repair without invalidating this warranty; the cost of such service or parts,
however, will not be covered under the
warranty except in the case of an
emergency.
Use of replacement parts which are not
of equivalent quality and design may impair the effectiveness of the emission
control systems.
If other than genuine Maybach parts or
Authorized Remanufactured Parts are
being used for maintenance,
replacement or repair of components
affecting emission control, the owner
should obtain assurances that such parts
are warranted by their manufacturer to
be equivalent to genuine Maybach parts
in performance and durability.
MBUSA, however, assumes no liability
under this warranty with respect to parts
other than genuine Maybach parts or
Authorized Remanufactured Parts except for consequential damage to a nonMaybach warranted part caused by a
failure of a Maybach part. However, the
use of non-Maybach replacement parts
does not invalidate the warranty on other components unless non-Maybach
parts cause damage to warranted parts.
25
Service and Warranty
Emission Performance Warranty (Federal)
MBUSA may deny an emission performance warranty claim if the failure of a
part is the result of:
a. non-compliance with the written instructions for required maintenance and
use. These written instructions, including
time and mileage intervals at which
maintenance is to be performed may be
found in the Maintenance Booklet and
Operator’s Manual provided with your
vehicle. You are advised to perform all
recommended maintenance or repairs
on your new Maybach passenger vehicle.
MBUSA may deny a warranty claim if
your failure to perform the required
maintenance resulted in the failure of
the warranted part in question. Receipts
and service records covering the performance of regular maintenance should
be retained in the event questions arise
concerning maintenance. The receipts
and service records should be transferred
to each subsequent owner of this vehicle.
26
b. vehicle abuse or maintenance performed in such a manner that an emission component was improperly installed
or adjusted substantially outside the
manufacturer’s specifications or which
resulted in removing or rendering inoperative any component affecting the vehicle’s emissions.
c. using non-EPA certified replacement
parts in the maintenance or repair of the
vehicle which ultimately proved to be defective in material or workmanship or
not equivalent from an emission standpoint to the original equipment part and
the owner is unable to prove otherwise.
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC may deny an
emission related warranty claim if it can
establish that the failure or the malfunction of an emission control system part
results directly from the use of non-premium low octane fuel in the engine (i.e.
fuel with an anti-knock index of below
91 as displayed on the fuel pump).
Service and Warranty
Emission Performance Warranty (Federal)
This Warranty Does Not Cover
a. Malfunctions in any part caused by any
of the following: misuse, improper adjustments, modification, alteration,
tampering, disconnection, improper or
inadequate maintenance, or use of leaded gasoline for catalyst equipped vehicles.
b. Damage resulting from accident, acts
of nature or other events beyond the
control of MBUSA.
d. Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use
of the vehicle, or other incidental or consequential damages.
This warranty is available on a vehicle
purchased in the United States or in any
U.S. possession governed by U.S. law.
e. Any vehicle on which the odometer
mileage has been altered so that the vehicle’s actual mileage cannot be determined.
In all other countries, defective parts will
be repaired or replaced free of charge
only in accordance with the terms and
limitations of the warranty for new
Maybach vehicles in effect at the time in
such countries.
c. The repair or replacement of warranted parts which are scheduled for replacement prior to 80,000 miles (such as spark
plugs, fuel and air filters) once these
have been replaced at the first replacement interval as part of regular maintenance service.

California, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont Emission Control System Warranty
- Things You Should Know
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board and
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC are pleased to
explain the emission control system warranty on your Maybach passenger vehicle. In California, Maine, Massachusetts
and Vermont, new motor vehicles must
be designed, built and equipped to meet
these states’ stringent anti-smog standards. MBUSA must warrant the emission
control system on your Maybach passenger vehicle for the periods of time listed
below provided there has been no abuse,
neglect or improper maintenance of
your vehicle.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage
Your emission control system may include such parts as the fuel injection system, ignition system, catalytic converter
and engine computers. Also included
may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists,
MBUSA will repair your Maybach passenger vehicle at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
For 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever
first occurs:
1. If your Maybach passenger vehicle fails
a Smog Check Inspection, all necessary
repairs and adjustments will be made by
MBUSA to ensure that your vehicle
passes the inspection. This is your
emission control system PERFORMANCE
WARRANTY.
2. If any emission related part on your
Maybach passenger vehicle is defective,
the part will be repaired or replaced by
MBUSA. This is your short-term emission
control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.

first occurs:
If an emission related part listed in this
warranty booklet specially noted with
coverage for 7 years or 70,000 miles is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by MBUSA. This is your long-term
emission control system DEFECTS WARRANTY.
As the vehicle owner, you are responsible
for the performance of the required

cannot deny emission control system
warranty solely for the lack of receipts or
for your failure to ensure the performance of all required maintenance.
You are responsible for presenting your
Maybach passenger vehicle to an authorized Maybach Studio as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should
be completed in a reasonable amount of
time, not to exceed 30 days.

Service and Warranty
2006 California, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont Emission Control System Warranty
General
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA)
warrants to the original and each
subsequent owner of a 2006 Maybach
passenger vehicle that is certified for sale
in California, Maine, Massachusetts or
Vermont and registered in California,
Maine, Massachusetts or Vermont that:
(3) is free from defects in material and
workmanship in specific emission related
parts as specified in the attached list
which would cause them not to conform
with those requirements for a period of
use of 7 years or 70,000 miles, whichever
first occurs.
(1) such vehicle is free from defects in
material and workmanship which would
cause it to fail to conform with requirements of the California Air Resources
Board (CARB) or to fail to pass a smog
check test for a period of use of 3 years
or 50,000 miles, whichever first occurs;
and
MBUSA further warrants that:
(2) if any part which affects any regulated emission from your vehicle is defective during 3 years or 50,000 miles,
whichever first occurs, the part will be repaired or replaced; and
32
a. if the vehicle is maintained and
operated in accordance with MBUSA’s
written instructions for required
maintenance and use, and
b. if a part is defective during 3 years or
50,000 miles, whichever first occurs,
which causes the vehicle not to conform
to the applicable CARB requirement or
to fail a smog check test, or
c. if an emission-related part covered by
the 7 year or 70,000 mile, whichever first
occurs, warranty term is defective during
the warranty period,
then any authorized Maybach Studio of
the owner’s choice will make any adjustments, repairs or replacements (including diagnosis) necessary to correct the
defect or so that the vehicle will pass the
smog check test at no charge for parts,
labor or diagnosis.
If your vehicle is between 3 to 8 years old
and has been driven less than 80,000
miles, then your vehicle may be eligible
for additional coverage under the Federal Emissions Warranty.
Service and Warranty
2006 California, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont Emission Control System Warranty
These warranty provisions shall begin on
the date the vehicle is delivered to the
first retail purchaser or, if the vehicle is
first placed in service as a retail demonstrator or MBUSA or MBSC company vehicle prior to sale at retail, on the date
the vehicle is first placed in such service.
The emission control system of your new
Maybach passenger vehicle was designed, built and tested using genuine
Maybach parts and the vehicle is certified
as being in conformity with Federal, California, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont emission control regulations and
requirements. Accordingly, it is recommended that any replacement parts used
for maintenance, repair or replacement
of emission related components be genuine Maybach parts or Authorized Remanufactured Parts.
The owner may elect to have maintenance, replacement or repair of the emission control devices and systems
performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual, and may elect
to use other than genuine Maybach parts
or Authorized Remanufactured Parts for
such maintenance, replacement or repair
without invalidating this warranty; the
cost of such service or parts, however,
will not be covered under the warranty
except in the case of an emergency.
Use of replacement parts which are not
of equivalent quality and design may impair the effectiveness of the emission
control systems. If other than genuine
Maybach parts or Authorized Remanufactured Parts are being used for maintenance, replacement or repair of
components affecting emission control,
the owner should obtain assurances that
such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine
Maybach parts in performance and durability.
MBUSA, however, assumes no liability
under this warranty with respect to parts
other than genuine Maybach parts or
Authorized Remanufactured Parts except for consequential damage to a nonMaybach warranted part caused by a
failure of a Maybach part. However, the
use of non-Maybach replacement parts
does not invalidate the warranty on other components unless non-Maybach
parts cause damage to warranted parts.
33
Service and Warranty
2006 California, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont Emission Control System Warranty
Repairs covered by this warranty will be
performed by any authorized Maybach
Studio at its place of business with no
charge for parts or labor (including
diagnosis), using genuine Maybach parts
or Authorized Remanufactured Parts for
any part covered by this warranty.
In the case of an emergency, when and
where an authorized Maybach Studio is
not available, repairs may be performed
at any available service establishment or
by the owner using any replacement
part. The non-availability of a replacement part for warranty repair or a repair
not completed within 30 days constitutes
an emergency.
34
MBUSA will reimburse the owner for
such repairs (including labor and diagnosis) that are covered under this warranty.
Such reimbursement shall not exceed
MBUSA suggested retail prices for warranted parts replaced and labor charges
based on MBUSA recommended time allowances for warranty repairs at a geographically appropriate hourly labor
rate. Replaced parts and paid invoices
must be presented at a Maybach Studio
as a condition of reimbursement for
emergency repairs not performed at a
Maybach Studio. Parts replaced under
this warranty become the property of
the warrantor.
The enclosed list sets forth some of the
emission related components covered by
the emission control system defects warranty. You are advised to perform all recommended maintenance or repairs on
your new Maybach passenger vehicle.
MBUSA will not deny an emissions system warranty claim solely because you
have no record of maintenance; however, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance.
MBUSA may deny a warranty claim if
your failure to perform the required
maintenance resulted in the failure of a
warranted part. Receipts and service
records covering the performance of regular maintenance should be retained in
the event questions arise concerning
maintenance. The receipts and service
records should be transferred to each
subsequent owner of this vehicle.
Service and Warranty
2006 California, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont Emission Control System Warranty
What is not covered by the Emission
Warranty
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC may deny an
emission related claim if it can establish
that the failure or the malfunction of an
emission control system part results directly from the use of non-premium low
octane fuel in the engine (i.e. fuel with
an anti-knock index of below 91 as displayed on the fuel pump).
This warranty does not cover:
1. The repair or replacement of any
“warranted part” otherwise eligible for
warranty coverage shall be excluded
from such warranty coverage if the vehicle or engine manufacturer demonstrates that the vehicle or engine has
been abused, neglected or improperly
maintained, and that such abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance was the
direct cause of the need for the repair or
replacement of the part.
2. Malfunctions in any part caused by any
of the following: improper adjustments
except for those done by an authorized
Maybach Studio during warranty service
work, modification, alteration, tampering, disconnection, or use of leaded
gasoline (for catalyst equipped vehicles).
3. Damage resulting from accident, acts
of nature or other events beyond the
control of MBUSA.
4. The repair or replacement of warranted parts which are scheduled to be replaced prior to 50,000 miles once these
have been replaced at the first replacement interval during a regular maintenance service.
5. Incidental or consequential damages
such as loss of time, inconvenience, or
loss of use of the vehicle.
6. Any vehicle on which the odometer
mileage has been altered so that the vehicle’s actual mileage cannot be determined.
35
Service and Warranty
2006 California, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont Emission Control System Warranty
This warranty is applicable to vehicles
certified for sale and registered in the
States of California, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont. In all other states or
countries, defective parts will be repaired or replaced in accordance with
the terms and limitations of the warranty
applicable to new Maybach vehicles in
effect at the time in such states or countries.
Your warranty claim may be presented
to any authorized Maybach Studio of
your choice. The dealer will honor or
deny your claim within a reasonable time
not to exceed 30 days, from the time at
which your vehicle is initially presented
for repair. Exceptions are when you, the
owner, request a delay, or a delay is
caused by events not attributable to
MBUSA or your Maybach Studio.
You may present a claim under the performance warranty immediately after
your vehicle has failed a smog check test.
You do not need to suffer the loss of the
right to use the vehicle, pay a fine, or incur repair expenses before bringing this
claim. After the 3 year / 50,000 miles performance warranty period has passed, a
smog check test failure due to a defect in
a part which is warranted for 7 years /
70,000 miles, is covered.
You will be notified in writing by your
Maybach Studio of the reasons for any
denial of your claim.
36
Your dealer is required by law to honor
your claim if such notice of denial is not
received by you within said time period.

Warranty Enforcement Laws (Lemon Laws)
Laws in many states and federal law
permit owners and/or lessees to obtain
a replacement vehicle or a refund of the
purchase or lease price under certain circumstances. The provisions of these
laws vary from state to state and vary
from the federal law. To the extent allowed or not prohibited by applicable
law, Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC requires
that you first provide us with direct
written notification of any alleged unrepaired defect or malfunction, or any
other dissatisfaction you have experienced with your vehicle so that we have
the opportunity to cure the problem or
dissatisfaction ourselves. Giving MBUSA
itself this direct notice and opportunity
to cure enables us to supplement prior
efforts by our authorized Maybach Studios so any ongoing problem can be resolved or the dissatisfaction addressed
by us. In states that have not enacted
Lemon Laws, we also require, without
constituting any liability beyond the
Maybach new vehicle warranty, that
you give us direct written notice of any
service difficulty you have experienced.
Written notifications, either required
under an applicable Lemon Law or
other written notifications should be
sent to us, not one of our Maybach
Studios, at Maybach Assistance Center,
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC,
Three Paragon Drive, Montvale,
NJ 07645-0350.

IMPORTANT NOTICE for California Retail Buyers and Lessees of Maybach Vehicles
Under California law you may be entitled to a replacement of your vehicle or
a refund of the purchase price or lease
price, if Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC and/or
its authorized repair or service facilities
fail to fix one or more substantial defects or malfunctions in the vehicle that
are covered by its express warranty after a reasonable number of repair attempts. During the period of 18 months
from original delivery of the vehicle or
the accumulation of 18 000 miles on
the odometer of the vehicle, whichever
first occurs, a reasonable number of repair attempts is presumed for a retail
buyer or lessee if one or more of the
40
following occurs: (1) the same substantial defect or malfunction results in a
condition that is likely to cause death or
serious bodily injury if the vehicle is
driven, that defect or malfunction has
been subject to repair two or more
times, and you have directly notified
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC in writing of
the need for its repair, (2) the same substantial defect or malfunction of a less
serious nature than category (1) has
been subject to repair four or more
times and you have directly notified us
in writing of the need for its repair, or
(3) the vehicle is out of service by reason
of repair of the same or different sub-
stantial defects or malfunctions for a
cumulative total of more than 30 calendar days.
Written direct notification should be
sent to us, not a Maybach Studio, at
