Operation
Driving instructions
Certain parts 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
factory specifications. Any adjustments
to the engine should therefore be
carried out only by qualified Maybach
Studio authorized technicians.
Engine adjustments should not be
altered in any way. Moreover, the
specified service procedures must be
carried out regularly according to
Maybach servicing requirements. For
details refer to the Maintenance
Booklet.
During severe operating conditions, e.g.
stop-and-go traffic, the coolant temper-
ature may rise close to approximately
248°F (120°C).
! The engine should not be operated with
the coolant temperature over 248°F (120°C).
Doing so may cause serious engine damage
which is not covered by the Maybach Limited
Warranty.
Emission control
Warning! G
Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to
your health. All exhaust gas contains car-
bon monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can
cause unconsciousness 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 driv-
ing, have the cause determined and cor-
rected immediately. If you must drive
under these conditions, drive with at least
one window fully open at all times.
Coolant temperature
Warning! G
앫 Driving when your engine is overheat-
ed can cause some fluids which may
have leaked into the engine compart-
ment to catch fire. You could be
seriously burned.
앫 Steam from an overheated engine can
cause serious burns which can occur
just by opening the hood. Stay away
from the engine if you see or hear
steam coming from it.
Stop the vehicle in a safe location away
from other traffic. Turn off the engine, get
out of the vehicle and do not stand near
the vehicle until the engine has cooled
down.
