Outside Temperature Indicator
The temperature sensor is located
in the front bumper area. Due to its
location, the sensor can be affected
by road or engine heat during idling
or slow driving. This means that the
accuracy of the displayed tempera­
ture can only be verified by compar­
ison to a thermometer placed next
to the sensor, not by comparison to
external displays (i.e., bank signs,
etc.).
Adaptation to ambient temperature
takes place in steps and depends
on the prevailing driving conditions
(stop and go or moderate, constant
driving) and amount of temperature
change.
Warning!
The outside temperature indicator
is not designed to serve as an
Ice-Warning-Device and is there­
fore unsuitable for that purpose.
Indicated temperatures just above
freezing point do not guarantee
that the road surface is free of
ice.
Emission Control
Certain systems of the engine
serve to keep the toxic compo­
nents 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 specifi­
cations. Any adjustments on the
engine should, therefore, be carried
out only by qualified 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 servicing re­
quirements. For details refer to the
Maintenance Booklet.
Warning!
Inhalation of exhaust gas is
hazardous to your health. All
exhaust gas contains carbon
monoxide, and inhaling it can
cause unconsciousness 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 under these condi­
tions, drive only with at least one
window fully open.
