Driving instructions
Abroad, there is an extensive Maybach
service network at your disposal. If you
plan to drive into areas which are not
listed in the index of your Maybach
Studio directory, you should request per-
tinent information from an authorized
Maybach Studio.
COMAND, radio and telephone
Telephones and two-way radios
Radio transmitters, such as a portable
telephone or citizens band unit should
only be used inside the vehicle if they are
connected to an antenna that is installed
on the outside of the vehicle.
Refer to the radio transmitter operation
instructions regarding use of an external
antenna.
Your Maybach is equipped with mono-
lithic-type catalytic converters, an impor-
tant element in conjunction with the
oxygen sensors to achieve substantial
control of the pollutants in the exhaust
emissions. Keep your vehicle in proper
operating condition by following our
recommended maintenance instructions
as outlined in your Maintenance Book-
let.
! To prevent damage to the catalytic con-
verters, use only premium unleaded gasoline
in this vehicle.
Any noticeable irregularities in engine opera-
tion should be dealt with promptly. Other-
wise, excessive unburned fuel may reach the
catalytic converter, causing it to overheat and
potentially start a fire.

As with any vehicle, do not idle, park or op-
