Emission Control
Certain systems of the engine serve
to keep the toxic components of the
exhaust gases within permissible li
mits required by law.
These systems, of course, 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 tech
nicians. The adjustments of the engine
should not be altered in any way.
Moreover, the specified service and
maintenance jobs must be carried out
regularly according to MERCEDES-
BENZ servicing requirements. For de
tails refer to the Maintenance Booklet.
Warning!
Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazar
dous to your health. All exhaust
gas contains carbon monoxide, and
inhaling it can cause unconscious
ness and lead to death.
Do not run the engine in confined
areas (such as a garage) which are
not properly ventilated. If you think
exhaust gas fumes are entering the
vehicle while driving, have the
cause determined and corrected
immediately. If you must drive un
der these conditions, drive only
with at least one window fully open.
Economical Driving Indicator
(ECONOMY)
The indicator shows the fuel consump
tion tendency during various driving
modes.
High fuel consumption is indicated if
the pointer moves into the red area;
economical driving is indicated when it
is in the black area. The indications
should only be compared when driving
within the same gear.
Do not compare fuel consumption
readings between different gears. The
following rule applies: If you drive at
equal speeds, the fuel consumption is
lower in the higher gear, although in
this gear the pointer is more frequently
in the red area.
Traveling Abroad
Abroad, there is a widely-spread
MERCEDES-BENZ service network at
your disposal. If you plan to travel into
areas which are not listed in the index
of your dealer directory, you should
request pertinent information from any
authorized MERCEDES-BENZ dealer.
