Emission Control
Certain systems of the engine serve to
keep the toxic components of the ex­
haust 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 engine
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.
Warning!
inhalation of exhaust gas is haz­
ardous to your health. All exhaust
gas contains carbon monoxide, and
inhaling 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 entering
the vehicle while driving, have the
cause determined and corrected
immediately. If you must drive un­
der these conditions, drive only
with at least one window fully open.
Engine Oil Consumption
Engine oil consumption can only be
determined after a certain mileage has
been covered. During the break-in
period, higher oil consumption may be
noticed and is normal.
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 is more frequently
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 re­
quest pertinent information from your
dealer.
