Mercedes Benz 2007 sl 550 User Manual

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

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 ac-
cording to factory specifications. Any ad-
justments on the engine should therefore 
be carried out only by qualified 
Mercedes-Benz Center authorized techni-
cians. Engine adjustments should not be 
altered in any way. Moreover, the specified 
service jobs must be carried out regularly 
according to Mercedes-Benz servicing re-
quirements. For details refer to the 
Maintenance Booklet.

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.
