Emission control

Certain parts of the engine and the
emission control system serve to keep the
toxic components of the exhaust gases
within permissible limits required by law.

These systems will function properly only
when maintained strictly according to
factory specifications. Any adjustments on
the engine should, therefore, be carried
out only by qualified Mercedes-Benz
Center authorized technicians. Engine
adjustments should not be altered in any
way. Moreover, the specified service
procedures must be carried out regularly
according to Mercedes-Benz servicing
requirements. For details refer to the
Maintenance Booklet.

Warning!

G

As with any vehicle, do not idle, park or op-

erate this vehicle in areas where combusti-

ble materials such as grass, hay or leaves

can come into contact with the hot exhaust

system, as these materials could be ignited

and cause a vehicle fire.

Warning!

G

Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to

your health. All exhaust gas contains carbon

monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can cause un-

consciousness and lead to death.

Do not run the engine in confined areas

(such as a garage) which are not properly

ventilated. If you think that exhaust gas

fumes are entering the vehicle while driving,

have the cause determined and corrected

immediately. If you must drive under these

conditions, drive only with at least one win-

dow fully open at all times.
