Mercedes Benz 2008 c300 Manuale Utente

Certain systems of the engine and the 
emission control system serve to keep the 
toxic components of the exhaust gases 
within permissible limits required by law.

These systems will function properly only 
when maintained strictly according to fac-
tory specifications. Any adjustments on 
the engine should, therefore, be carried 
out only by qualified Mercedes-Benz Cen-
ter authorized technicians. 

Engine adjustments should not be altered 
in any way. The specified service proce-
dures must be carried out regularly accord-
ing to Mercedes-Benz servicing 
requirements. For details please refer to 
the Maintenance Booklet.

G

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.

G

Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to 

your health. All exhaust gas contains carbon 

monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can cause un-

consciousness and possible 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 win-

dow fully open at all times.
