The Mercedes community in Europe has a large pool of available Stage files for the standard models. In the Mercedes city segment, Stage 1 is more about comfort and responsiveness than power. On low-output Mercedes engines, Stage 1 is safe and does not over-stress the hardware. On naturally aspirated Mercedes engines without a turbo, the main effect is on throttle response.
