Protecting the environment

General notes

Environmental note

Daimler's declared policy is one of comprehensive environmental protection.

The objectives are for the natural resources that form the basis of our existence on this planet to be used sparingly 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.

Fuel consumption and the rate of engine, transmission, brake and tire wear are affected by these factors:

operating conditions of your vehicle

your personal driving style

You can influence both factors. You should bear the following in mind:

Operating conditions:

avoid short trips as these increase fuel consumption.

always make sure that the tire pressures are correct.

do not carry any unnecessary weight.

remove roof racks once you no longer need them.

a regularly serviced vehicle will contribute to environmental protection. You should therefore adhere to the service intervals.

always have service work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

Personal driving style:

do not depress the accelerator pedal when starting the engine.

do not warm up the engine when the vehicle is stationary.

drive carefully and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and braking.

change gear in good time and use each gear only up to Ô of its maximum engine speed.

switch off the engine in stationary traffic.

keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel consumption.

Environmental concerns and recommendations

Wherever the Operator's Manual requires you to dispose of materials, first try to regenerate or reuse them. Observe the relevant environmental rules and regulations when disposing of materials. In this way you will help to protect the environment.

Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts

Environmental note

Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned major assemblies and parts which are of the same quality as new parts. They are covered by the same Limited Warranty entitlements as new parts.

Air bags and Emergency Tensioning Devi-

ces, as well as control units and sensors for these restraint systems, may be installed in the following areas of your vehicle:

doors

door pillars

door sills

seats

cockpit

instrument cluster

center console

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 aftermarket accessories installed at a qualified specialist workshop.

You could jeopardize the operating safety of your vehicle if you use parts, tires and wheels as well as accessories relevant to safety which have not been approved by Mercedes-Benz. 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 tires, wheels and accessories that have been specifically approved for your vehicle.
