Protection of the environment
General notes
Environmental note
H
Daimler's declared policy is one of comprehensive environmental protection.
Our objectives are to use the natural resources which form the basis of our existence on
this planet sparingly and in a manner which
takes the requirements of both nature and
humanity into consideration.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your vehicle in an environmentally-responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tyre wear depend on
the following factors:
R
operating conditions of your vehicle
R
your personal driving style
You can influence both factors. Therefore,
please bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions:
R
avoid short trips, as these increase fuel
consumption.
R
observe the correct tyre pressure.
R
do not carry any unnecessary weight in the
vehicle.
R
remove the roof rack once you no longer
need it.
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 when the vehicle
is stationary.
R
drive carefully and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front.
R
avoid frequent, sudden 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 in stationary traffic.
R
monitor the vehicle's fuel consumption.
Returning an end-of-life vehicle
EU countries only:
Mercedes-Benz will take back your old vehicle
to dispose of it in an environmentally-responsible manner in accordance with the European Union (EU) End of Life Vehicles Directive.
There is a network of return points and disassembly plants available. You can return
your vehicle to these plants free of charge.
This makes a valuable contribution to the
recycling process and the conservation of
resources.
For further information on recycling old vehicles, recovery and the terms of the policy,
visit the Mercedes-Benz homepage.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
Environmental note
H
Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned
assemblies and parts which are of the same
quality as new parts. For these, the same warranty applies as for new parts.
!
Airbags and seat belt tensioners, as well
as control units and sensors for these
restraint systems, may be installed in the
following areas of your vehicle:
R
doors
R
door pillars
R
door sills
R
seats
R
dashboard
R
instrument cluster
R
centre console
Z
Introduction
26
Do not install accessories such as audio
systems in these areas. Do not carry out
repairs or welding. You could impair the
operating efficiency of the restraint systems.
Have accessories retrofitted at a qualified
specialist workshop.
You could jeopardise the operating safety of
your vehicle if you use parts, tyres and wheels
as well as accessories relevant to safety
which have not been approved by Mercedes.
This could lead to malfunctions in safety-relevant systems, e.g. the brake system. Use
only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts or parts of
equal quality. Only use tyres, wheels and
accessories that have been specifically
approved for your vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts and conversion parts and accessories that have been
specifically approved for your vehicle for their
reliability, safety and suitability. Despite
ongoing market research, Mercedes-Benz is
unable to assess other parts. Mercedes-Benz
therefore accepts no responsibility for the
use of such parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles,
even if they have been officially approved or
independently approved by a testing centre.
In Germany, certain parts are only officially
approved for installation or modification if
they comply with legal requirements. This
also applies to some other countries. All genuine Mercedes-Benz parts meet the approval
requirements. The use of non-approved parts
may invalidate the vehicle's general operating
permit.
This is the case:
R
if they cause a change of the vehicle type
from that for which the vehicle's general
operating permit was granted
R
if other road users could be endangered
R
if the emission or noise levels are adversely
affected
Always specify the vehicle identification number (VIN) (Y page 372) when ordering genuine Mercedes-Benz parts.
Owner's Manual
Vehicle equipment
This Owner's Manual describes all models
and all standard and optional equipment
available for your vehicle at the time of publication of the Owner's Manual. Country-specific differences are possible. Note that your
vehicle may not be fitted with all features
described. This is also the case for systems
and functions relevant to safety. Therefore,
the equipment on your vehicle may differ from
that in the descriptions and illustrations.
The original purchase contract documentation for your vehicle contains a list of all of the
systems in your vehicle.
Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, please consult a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The Owner's Manual and Service Booklet are
important documents and should kept in the
vehicle.
Operating safety
Important safety notes
WARNING
G
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenance work or necessary repairs carried out, this could result in malfunctions or
system failures. There is a risk of an accident.
Always have the prescribed service/maintenance work as well as necessary repairs carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
WARNING
G
If you switch off the ignition while driving,
safety-relevant functions are only available
with limitations, or not at all. This could affect,
for example, the power steering and the brake
boosting effect. You will require considerably
more effort to steer and brake. There is a risk
of an accident.
Do not switch off the ignition while driving.
Introduction
27
WARNING
G
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring could effect 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 any
more and/or jeopardise the operational
safety of the vehicle. There is an increased
risk of an accident and injury.
Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
Always have work on electrical and electronic
components carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
!
There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
R
the vehicle makes contact with the
ground, e.g. on a high kerb or a loose
road surface
R
you drive too quickly over an obstacle,
e.g. a kerb or a pothole
R
a heavy object hits the underbody or
chassis component
In these or similar situations, the vehicle
body, the underbody, chassis components,
wheels or tyres could be damaged even if
this is not visible. Components that have
been damaged in this way can unexpectedly fail or no longer be able to assimilate
the loads occurring in the event of an accident.
If the underbody panelling is damaged,
flammable material, such as leaves, grass
or twigs, could collect between the underbody and underbody panelling. These
materials could ignite if they remain in contact with hot components of the exhaust
system for an extended period.
Have the vehicle checked and repaired
immediately at a qualified specialist workshop. If you become aware when continuing the journey that driving safety has been
effected, stop as soon as possible in
accordance with the traffic conditions. In
such cases, consult a qualified specialist
workshop.
Declarations of conformity

There is a risk of an accident.
Do not connect any equipment to a diagnostics connection in the vehicle.
WARNING
G
Objects in the driver's footwell may restrict
the clearance around the pedals or block a
depressed pedal. This jeopardises the operating and road safety of the vehicle. There is
a risk of an accident.
Z
Introduction
28
Stow all objects securely in the vehicle so that
they do not get into the driver's footwell.
Always fit the floormats securely and as prescribed in order to ensure that there is always
sufficient room for the pedals. Do not use
loose floormats and do not place several floormats on top of one another.
!
If the engine is switched off and equipment on the diagnostics connection is
used, the starter battery may discharge.
Connecting equipment to the diagnostics
connection can lead to emissions monitoring
information being reset, for example. This
may lead to the vehicle failing to meet the
requirements of the next emissions test during the main inspection.
