Operating Instructions
Before the first journey
The Operating Instructions, Maintenance or
Service Booklet and the equipment-dependent Supplements are integral parts of the
vehicle. Keep
these documents in the vehicle
at all times. If you sell the vehicle, always pass
all of the documents on to the new owner.
Read these documents carefully and familiarise yourself with the vehicle before the first
journey.
For your own safety and a longer vehicle life,
always follow the instructions and warning
notices in these Operating Instructions. Disregarding them may lead to damage to the
vehicle or personal injury.
Implied warranty
Follow the instructions in this manual
!
about the proper operation of your vehicle
as well as about possible vehicle damage.
Damage to your vehicle that arises from
culpable contraventions against these
instructions are not covered either by
Mercedes-Benz implied warranty or by the
New or Used-Vehicle Warranty.
Vehicle equipment
These Operating
Instructions describe all the
models and standard and optional equipment
of your vehicle that were available at the time
of going to print. Country-specific deviations
are possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle
may not be equipped with all the functions
described. This also applies to safety-relevant
systems and functions. The equipment in
your vehicle may therefore differ from that
shown in the descriptions and illustrations.
All systems found in your vehicle are listed in
your vehicle's original purchase agreement.
Contact a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre if
you have any questions about equipment or
operation.
Correct use
Observe the
following information when driv-
ing your vehicle:
R
the safety notes in these Operating Instructions
R
the technical data in these Operating
Instructions
R
traffic rules and regulations
R
laws and safety standards pertaining to
motor vehicles
Various warning stickers are attached to the
vehicle. If you remove any warning stickers,
you or others could fail to recognise certain
dangers. Leave warning stickers in position.
The Unimog is designed as an equipment carrier, tractor unit and chassis for a variety of
different equipment.
Correct use includes:
R
using the Unimog as a standard vehicle as
delivered
R
using the Unimog in conjunction with
attachments and bodies that comply with
the Mercedes-Benz body/equipment
mounting directives
R
compliance with Mercedes-Benz maintenance or service and care specifications
R
use of genuine Mercedes-Benz spare parts
WARNING
G
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring could affect their
function and/or the operation of other networked components. This could in particular
also be the case for systems relevant to
safety. They might not function properly anymore and/or jeopardise the operational
safety of the vehicle. There is an increased
risk of an accident and injury.

Always have work on electrical and electronic
components carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

Introduction
28
If you carry out modifications to electronic
components, their software or wiring, this
could result in the invalidation of your vehicle's operating permit.
WARNING
G
Gases and liquids from substances that constitute a health hazard or react aggressively
can escape, even from securely closed containers. If you transport these substances
inside the
vehicle, this may affect your health
and impair your concentration while you are
driving. It may also cause malfunctions or
electrical component system failures. There is
a risk of fire and accident.
Do not store or transport any substances in
the vehicle that are hazardous to health or
react aggressively.
Substances that constitute a health hazard or
react aggressively include, for example:
R
solvents
R
fuel
R
oil and grease
R
cleaning agents
R
acid
Protection of the environment
Economical and environmentally aware driving
Environmental note
H
Daimler AG has a declared policy of comprehensive environmental protection.
The objective
ingly and in a manner that takes the requirements of both nature and humanity into
account.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your vehicle in an environmentally responsible manner.
is to use natural resources spar-
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake
and tyre wear depend on
the following factors:
R
the operating conditions of your vehicle
R
your personal driving style
You can influence both factors. For this reason, observe the following notes:
Operating conditions
R
avoid short trips as these increase fuel consumption.
R
make sure that the tyre pressures are
always correct.
R
do not carry any unnecessary weight.
R
a regularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
R
all maintenance work should be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style
R
do not depress the accelerator pedal when
starting the engine.
R
do not warm up the engine with the vehicle
stationary.
R
drive carefully and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front.
R
avoid frequent and heavy acceleration and
braking.
R
change gear in good time and use each gear
only up to Ô of its maximum engine speed.
R
switch off the engine when waiting in stationary traffic.
R
keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel consumption.
