Introduction Risk of accident G Correct use The engine is only designed for installation in accordance with the specifications de- termined in the contract. Work incorrectly carried out on electronic components and its software could impair the functioning of these components. Since the electronic systems are networked, this might also affect systems that have not been modified. The manufacturer of the end product is personally responsible for the complete system of the end product, and in particu- lar for the correct installation and compat- ibility of this engine with the complete system.
Always have work on or modifications to electronic components carried out at a qual- ified specialist workshop which has the nec- essary specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the work required. The engine must not be modified. DaimlerChrysler accepts no responsibility for damage caused as the result of modifi- cations. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur- pose. Correct use of the engine includes adher- ing to these Operating Instructions, adher- ing to the maintenance intervals and performing maintenance work correctly in accordance with these Operating Instruc- tions. 9 Operating safety
