Catalytic Converter - Mercedes-Benz Light Truck ML 320 Operator's Manual

Catalytic Converter

Your Mercedes-Benz is equipped with monolithic type catalytic converters, an important element in conjunction with the oxygen
sensors to achieve substantial control of the pollutants in the exhaust emissions. Keep your vehicle in proper operating condition by
following our recommended maintenance instructions as outlined in your Service Booklet.
Caution!
To prevent damage to the catalytic converters, use only premium unleaded gasoline in this vehicle.
Any noticeable irregularities in engine operation should be repaired promptly. Otherwise, excessive unburned fuel may reach the
catalytic converter causing it to overheat, which could start a fire
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 and cause a vehicle fire.
