Catalytic Converter
Your MERCEDES-BENZ is equipped
with monolithic catalytic converters,
an important element in conjunction
with the Orsensor to achieve subs-
tantial control of the pollutants in
the exhaust emissions. Keep your
vehicle in proper operating condi-
tion by following our recommended
maintenance instructions as out-
lined in your maintenance booklet.

Caution!
To prevent damage to the catalytic
converters, use only premium
unleaded gasoline in this vehicle.
Should any noticeable irregularities
in the engine operation occur, ex-
cessive unburned fuel may reach
the converter causing it to over-
heat.
Warning!
As with any vehicle, do not idle,
park or operate this vehicle in
areas where combustible
materials such as grass, hay or
leaves can come into contact
with the hot exhaust system,
as these materials could be
ignited.
