Catalytic Converter

Your Mercedes-Benz is equipped
with monolithic type catalytic
converters, an important element
in conjunction with the oxygen
sensor 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
Maintenance Booklet.

Caution!
To prevent damage to the cata­
lytic converters, use only premium
unleaded gasoline in this vehicle.
Any noticeable irregularities in
engine operation should be re­
paired promptly. Otherwise,
excessive unburned fuel may
reach the catalytic converter
causing it to overheat.
Warning!
As with any vehicle, do not
idle, park or operate this ve­
hicle in areas where combus­
tible materials such as grass,
hay or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust
system, as these materials
could be ignited.
