& WARNING Risk of accident and injury
from operating mobile communications
equipment
If you operate mobile communication equip‐
ment when driving, you will be distracted
from the traffic situation. This could also
cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
The probability of a serious or even fatal acci‐
dent increases greatly if you operate mobile
communication equipment when driving.
Only operate mobile communication
#
equipment when the vehicle is station‐
ary.
For your own safety, always observe the following
points when operating mobile communications
equipment:
Observe the legal requirements for the coun‐
R
try in which you are driving.
While driving, only operate mobile communi‐
R
cations equipment when the traffic conditions
permit it. You may otherwise be distracted
from the traffic conditions and cause an acci‐
dent, injuring yourself and others.
* NOTE Damage to the drivetrain and
engine when pulling away
Do not warm up the engine while the
#
vehicle is stationary. Pull away immedi‐
ately.
Avoid high engine speeds and driving at
#
full throttle until the engine has reached
its operating temperature.
Exhaust emission monitoring
Specific engine systems are designed to keep
poisonous components of exhaust gases within
legal limits.
These systems only work optimally if they are
maintained exactly according to manufacturer's
specifications. It is for this reason that all work
on the engine should only be performed by quali‐
fied and authorized Mercedes-Benz Commercial
Van Center technicians.
Under no circumstances should engine settings
be changed. In addition, all specific maintenance
work must be performed at regular intervals and
in compliance with the service regulations of the
dealer named in the imprint. Refer to the Mainte‐
nance Booklet for details.
Driving and parking
Notes on the limit speed
& WARNING Risk of injury through exceed‐
ing the specified tire load-bearing capa‐
city or the permissible speed rating
Exceeding the specified tire load rating or the
permissible speed rating may lead to tire
damage and to the tires bursting.
Therefore, only use tire types and sizes
#
approved for your vehicle model.
Observe the tire load rating and speed
#
rating required for your vehicle.
As the driver, you must find out about the maxi‐
mum permissible speed for the tires (tire and tire
pressure). Observe the legal requirements for
tires for the country in which you are staying.
You can permanently limit the speed of your vehi‐
cle.
Mercedes-Benz recommends a qualified special‐
ist workshop for programming the limit speed.
Note that you cannot exceed a programmed limit
speed when overtaking.
On downhill gradients, the limit speed may be
exceeded. Apply the brakes if necessary.
Display messages indicate that you are approach‐
ing the limit speed.
Information about driving abroad
Service
An extensive Mercedes-Benz service is also avail‐
able abroad. Nevertheless, please remember that
services or spare parts may not be available
immediately. The relevant workshop directories
are available from a Mercedes-Benz Commercial
Van Center.
Fuel
In some countries, only fuels with an increased
sulfur content are available.
Unsuitable fuel can cause engine damage. You
can find further information under "Fuel"
(
page 228).

Information about transport by rail
Transporting your vehicle by rail may be subject
to certain restrictions or require special meas‐
