Emission control

Certain engine systems serve to keep the
toxic components of the exhaust gases
within permissible legal limits.

These systems, of course, will function
properly only when maintained strictly ac-
cording to factory specifications. Any ad-
justments on the engine should, therefore,
be carried out only by qualified
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center autho-
rized technicians. Engine adjustments
should not be altered in any way. More-
over, the specified service jobs must be
carried out regularly according to
Mercedes-Benz servicing requirements.
For details refer to the Maintenance
Booklet.

Warning!

G

As with any vehicle, do not idle, park or op-

erate this vehicle in areas where combusti-

ble materials such as grass, hay or leaves

can come into contact with the hot exhaust

system, as these materials could be ignited

and cause a vehicle fire.

Warning!

G

Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to

your health. All exhaust gas contains carbon

monoxide, and inhaling it can cause uncon-

sciousness 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

conditions, drive only with at least one win-

dow fully open at all times.
