Emission Control
Certain systems of the engine serve
to keep the toxic components of the
exhaust gases within permissible limits
required by law. (Nevertheless, we
urgently advise you not to let the en­
gine run in a closed garage). These
systems, of course, will function prop­
erly only when maintained strictly ac­
cording to factory specifications. Any
adjustments on the engine should,
therefore, be carried out only by quali­
fied MERCEDES-BENZ technicians.
The adjustments of the engine should
not be altered in any way. Moreover,
the specified service and maintenance
jobs must be carried out regularly
according to MERCEDES-BENZ ser­
vicing requirements. For details refer
to the Maintenance Booklet.
Economical Driving Indicator
(ECONOMY)
The indicator shows the fuel consump­
tion tendency during various driving
modes.
High fuel consumption is indicated if
the pointer moves into the red area;
economical driving is indicated when it
is in the black area. The indications
should only be compared within the
same gear.
Do not compare fuel consumption
readings between different gears. The
following rule applies: If you drive at
equal speeds, the fuel consumption is
lower in the higher gear, although in
this gear the pointer indicates mostly
more in the red area.
Traveling Abroad
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 request
pertinent information from your dealer.
