Environmental note
Daimler AG has a declared policy of compre-
hensive environmental protection.
The objectives are to use the natural resour-
ces which form the basis of our existence on
this planet sparingly and in a manner which
takes the requirements of both nature and
humanity into account.
You
also
can help to protect the environment
by operating your engine in an environmen-
tally responsible manner.
The fuel consumption and wear and tear of an
engine depend upon the conditions under
which it is operated. For this reason, you
should:
R
not warm up the engine in neutral
R
switch off the engine during operation-rela-
ted delays
R
monitor the fuel consumption
R
carry out the specified maintenance work.
Always have maintenance work carried out at
a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz or MTU Service Centre.
Operating safety and vehicle approval
Operating safety
The operating
safety of an engine depends on
its professional installation in the overall sys-
tem (e.g. the vehicle or working machinery).
As the operator of the engine, you also affect
its safe operation.
Through compliance with the prescribed
maintenance intervals, you fulfil part of the
requirements for safe operation of the
engine.
However, safe operation of the engine also
depends upon its proper use, which includes,
for example, regular checks of the oil level.
G
WARNING
Accidents can occur as a result of engine
damage caused by improper use of the
engine.
Therefore,
please
follow the engine operating
instructions included in the Owner's Manual.
G
WARNING
Faulty or incomplete maintenance work, as
well as disregarded maintenance intervals,
can decrease the engine's operating life,
cause engine damage and lead to accidents.
Therefore,
please
follow the engine operating
instructions included in the Owner's Manual.
Notes on electronic systems
G
WARNING
If work on electronic equipment and its soft-
ware
is
carried out incorrectly, this equipment
could stop working. The electronic systems
are networked via interfaces. Tampering with
these electronic systems could cause mal-
functions in systems which have not been
modified. Malfunctions such as these can
seriously jeopardise the vehicle's operating
safety and therefore your own safety.
Other work or modifications incorrectly car-
ried out on the vehicle could also jeopardise
operating safety.
Some safety systems only function when the
engine is running. You should therefore never
switch off the engine when driving.
Conversion parts and modifications
to the engine
G
WARNING
Unauthorised changes to the engine can
reduce its functionality and safety, lead to
accidents and consequently to personal
injury.
Always
have maintenance or modifica-
tion to the engine carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
