Emission Control; Traveling Abroad - Mercedes-Benz 350 SDL 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 maintain­
ed strictly according to factory
specifications. Any adjustments on the
engine should, therefore, be carried
out only by qualified MERCEDES-
BENZ technicians. 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.
Warning!
Inhalation of exhaust gas is haz­
ardous to your health. All
exhaust gas contains carbon
monoxide, and inhaling it can
cause unconsciousness 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 driv­
ing, have the cause determined
and corrected immediately. If you
must drive under these condi­
tions, 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 plan to travel into
areas which are not listed in the index
of your dealer directory, you should
request pertinent information from
your authorized MERCEDES-BENZ
dealer.
