Emission Control; Traveling Abroad - Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.3-16 201 1987 Owner's Manual

Emission Control

Certain systems of the engine serve to
keep the toxic components of the
exhaust gases within permissible limits
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 qual­
ified MERCEDES-BENZ technicians.
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 serv­
icing requirements. For details refer to
the Maintenance Booklet.

W arning!
Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazard­
ous to your health. All exhaust gas
contains carbon monoxide, and in­
haling 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
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 window fully open.

Traveling Abroad

Abroad, there is a widely-spread
MERCEDES-BENZ service network at
your disposal. If you travel into areas
which are not listed in the index of your
dealer directory, you should request
pertinent information from your dealer.
