Operation

Driving instructions

Telephones and two-way radios

Radio transmitters, such as a portable
telephone or citizens band unit should only
be used inside the vehicle if they are
connected to an antenna that is installed
on the outside of the vehicle.

Refer to the radio transmitter operation
instructions regarding use of an external
antenna.

Catalytic converter

Your Mercedes-Benz is equipped with
monolithic-type catalytic converters, an
important element in conjunction with the
oxygen sensors to achieve substantial
control of the pollutants in the exhaust
emissions. Keep your vehicle in proper
operating condition by following our
recommended maintenance instructions
as outlined in your Maintenance Booklet.

Warning!

G

Never operate radio transmitters equipped

with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e. with-

out being connected to an external antenna)

from inside the vehicle while the engine is

running. Doing so could lead to a malfunc-

tion of the vehicle’s electronic system,

possibly resulting in an accident and/or

personal injury.

!

To prevent damage to the catalytic convert-

ers, use only premium unleaded gasoline in this
vehicle.

Any noticeable irregularities in engine operation
should be repaired promptly. Otherwise, exces-
sive unburned fuel may reach the catalytic
converter, causing it to overheat and potentially
start a fire.

Warning!

G

As with any vehicle, do not idle, park or

operate this vehicle in areas where combus-

tible 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.
