Emission Control
Certain systems of the engine serve to keep the toxic components of the exhaust gases within
permissible limits required by law. These systems, of course, will function properly only when
maintained strictly according to factory specifications. Any adjustments on the engine should,
therefore, be carried out only by qualified Mercedes-Benz authorized dealer technicians. Engine
adjustments should not be altered in any way. Moreover, the specified service jobs must be carried
out regularly according to Mercedes-Benz servicing requirements. For details refer to the Service
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 conditions, drive only
with at least one window fully open.
On-Board Diagnostic System
The Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection (SFI) control module monitors emission control components
that either provide input signals to or receive output signals from the control module. Malfunctions
resulting from interruptions or failure of any of these components are indicated by the "CHECK
ENGINE" malfunction indicator lamp in the instrument cluster and are simultaneously stored in the
diagnostic module. If the "CHECK ENGINE" malfunction indicator lamp comes on, have the system
checked at your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer as soon as possible. The control module
switches off the "CHECK ENGINE" indicator lamp if the condition, causing the lamp to come on, no
longer exists. An on-board diagnostic connector is located in the passenger compartment near to the
parking brake pedal, allowing the accurate identification of system malfunctions through the readout
of diagnostic trouble codes.
