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 func­
tion properly only when maintained
strictly according to factory specifica­
tions. Any adjustments on the engine
should, therefore, be carried out only
by qualified MERCEDES-BENZ tech­
nicians. The adjustments of the en­
gine should not be altered in any way.
Moreover, the specified service and
maintenance jobs must be carried out
regularly according to MERCEDES-
BENZ servicing requirements. For de­
tails refer to the Maintenance Booklet.
Emission Control
Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazard­
ous to your health. All exhaust gas
contains carbon monoxide, and in­
haling it can cause unconscious­
ness 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 enter­
ing the vehicle while driving, have
the cause determined and correc­
ted immediately. If you must drive
under these conditions, drive only
with at least one window fully open.
Warning!
Abroad, there is a widely-spread
MERCEDES-BENZ service network at
your disposal. If you travel into areas
which are not listed in the index of
your dealer directory, you should re­
quest pertinent information from your
dealer.
