Catalytic Converter Cautions
Your MERCEDES-BENZ is equipped
with monolithic catalytic converters,
an important element in conjunction
with the 0 2-sensor to achieve sub­
stantial control of the pollutants in
the exhaust emissions. Keep your
vehicle in proper operating condi­
tion by following our recommended
maintenance instructions as out­
lined in your maintenance booklet.
Should any noticeable irregularities
in the engine operation occur such
as misfiring of one or more cylin­
ders, indicated by audible signs,
excessive unburned fuel may reach
the converter causing it to overheat.
Continued operation of your vehicle
can result in damage to the
converter.
For the same reason we caution
against:
• Misuse or abuse of your vehicle
engine
• Refueling with leaded gasoline
• Excessive idling with cold engine
• Push or tow starting your vehicle
with hot engine.
As with any vehicle, do not idle or
park or operate this vehicle in areas
where combustible materials such
as grass, hay or leaves can come
into contact with a hot exhaust
system, as these materials could be
ignited.
We urge your cooperation by follow­
ing the above instructions to
achieve cleaner air.
