Introduction to service products
G
WARNING
Service products are hazardous to health.
They contain toxic and caustic substances.
Service products are highly flammable.
For
this
reason, observe the following instruc-
tions to prevent injuries to yourself and oth-
ers:
R
Do not inhale the vapours. When indoors,
always ensure there is sufficient ventilation
to prevent intoxication.
R
Do not let service products come into con-
tact with skin, eyes or clothing. Should con-
tact occur, however, clean the affected
areas of skin with water to prevent caustic
burns and other injuries.
In the event of eye contact, wash eyes thor-
oughly with plenty of clean water.
R
Fire, naked flames and smoking are forbid-
den when handling service products due to
their high flammability.
R
Observe the usage and warning notices on
the containers.
The use of approved service products is an
integral part of the implied warranty.
!
Special additives (except approved fuel
additives) are neither required nor
approved for use with approved service
products. Additives could cause damage to
the assemblies. Therefore, do not mix any
additives with service products.
You are responsible for the results of using
fuel additives.
H
Environmental note
Dispose of service products in an environ-
mentally-responsible manner.
Service products are, for example:

Approved service products fulfil the highest
quality standards and are documented in the
Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service
Products. Damage caused by the use of
service products that have not been approved
invalidates the implied warranty. For this rea-
son, only use service products that have been
approved for your engine.
You can recognise service products approved
by Mercedes-Benz by the following inscrip-
tion on the container:
R
MB Approval (e.g. Approval 228.5)
or
R
MB Approval 228.5
Other labels and recommendations relating
to the quality or indicating that the product
meets a certain specification are not neces-
sarily approved by Mercedes-Benz. Further
information is available from any Mercedes-
Benz or MTU Service Centre (Y page 11).
