Thank you for choosing this Mercedes-Benz engine. Items of special equipment are marked with an asterisk *. The equipment in your Mercedes-Benz drive train may vary, de- pending on the version. Mercedes-Benz is constantly updating its engines to the state of the art. You cannot, therefore, base any claims on the data, illustrations or descriptions in these Operating Instruc- tions. For further information contact a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Please get to know your new Mercedes- Benz engine first. Make sure you read the Operating Instructions in particular before using the engine for the first time. In this way you can ensure successful and safe use.
At the same time you will avoid endan- gering yourself and others when operating the engine. The Operating Instructions and Mainte- nance Booklet belong with the engine. You should therefore always keep them with the engine and pass them on to the new owner if you sell it. The technical documentation team at DaimlerChrysler AG wishes you every success.
