high beam MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS 2020 MY20 Operator’s Manual

Do not drink or take drugs and drive or allow
anyone to drive who has been drinking or
taking drugs.
Emission control G
DANGER
Combustion engines emit poisonous
exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide.
Inhaling these exhaust gases is hazardous to
health and can result in poisoning. There is a
risk of fatal injury. Therefore, never leave the
engine running an enclosed space without
adequate ventilation.
Certain engine systems are designed to keep
the level of poisonous substances in exhaust
fumes within legal limits.
These systems only work optimally if they are
maintained exactly in accordance with the
manufacturer's specifications. Any work on
the engine should therefore be carried out by
qualified and authorized Mercedes-Benz tech-
nicians.
The engine settings must not be changed
under any circumstances. In addition, all spe-
cific maintenance work must be carried out at
regular intervals and in accordance with the
service requirements of the dealer listed here
on the inside title page. Details can be found
in the Maintenance Booklet. Speed limiter
G
WARNING
Exceeding the stated tire load-bearing capa-
city and the approved maximum speed
could lead to tire damage or the tire burst-
ing. There is a risk of accident.
Therefore, only use tire types and sizes
approved for your vehicle model. Observe
the tire load rating and speed rating
required for your vehicle.
As the driver, you must be aware of the maxi-
mum design speed of the vehicle and the max-
imum permissible speed based on the tires
(tire and tire pressure). In particular, also observe the tire approval regulations for each
country.
You must not exceed the speed limit for the
tires indicated by the speed rating. The speed
rating is stated in the tire tables (Y page
302).
You can permanently limit the permissible
maximum speed of your vehicle, e.g. for driv-
ing on winter tires.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
the maximum permissible speed programed at
a Mercedes-Benz Commercial Van Center.
Before overtaking, take into consideration that
the engine speed limiter prevents the speed
increasing beyond the programmed permissi-
ble maximum speed. Driving abroad
Service An extensive network of authorized Mercedes-
Benz Centers is also at your disposal when you
are traveling abroad. Nevertheless, please
bear in mind that service facilities or replace-
ment parts may not always be immediately
available. The relevant workshop directories
are available from any Mercedes-Benz Com-
mercial Van Center.
Fuel In some countries, only fuels with a higher sul-
fur content are available.
Unsuitable fuel can cause engine damage. You
will find information about fuel under "Service
products and capacities"

(Y page 306).
Low-beam headlamps General notes
When driving in countries in which traffic
drives on the opposite side of the road to the
country where the vehicle is registered, you
must switch the headlamps to symmetrical
low beam. This prevents oncoming traffic from
being blinded. Symmetrical low beam does not
illuminate as large an area of the edge of the
road. Driving tips
