Protection of the environment
General notes
Environmental note
H
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 amanner
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:
R
operating conditionsofyour vehicle
R
your personal driving style
You can influence both factors. You should
bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions:
R
avoid short trips as these increase fuel consumption.
R
always make sure that the tire pressures
are correct.
R
do not carry any unnecessary weight.
R
remove roof racks once you no longer need
them.
R
aregularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
R
always have service work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
R
do not depress the accelerator pedal when
startingthe engine.
R
do not warm up the engine when the vehicle
is stationary.
R
drive carefully and maintain asafe 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
keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel consumption.
Environmental concerns and recommendations
Wherever the operating instructions require
you to dispose of materials, first try to regenerate or re-use 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
H
Daimler AG also suppliesreconditioned major
assemblies and parts which are of the same
quality as new parts. They are covered by the
same Limited Warranty entitlements as new

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:
R

R
seats
R

Do not install accessories such as audio
systems in these areas. Do not carry out
repairs or welding. You could impair the
operating efficiencyofthe restraint systems.

Operating safety
Important safety notes
WARNING
G
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenance work or any required repairs
carried out, this can result in malfunctions or
system failures. There is arisk of an accident.
Always have the prescribed service/maintenancework as well as any required repairs
carried out at aqualified 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 arisk
of an accident.
Do not switch off the ignition while driving.
WARNING
G
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system. There is arisk
of fire.
When driving off road or on unpaved roads,
check the vehicle's underside regularly. In
particular, remove parts of plants or other
flammable materials which have become
trapped. In the case of damage, contact a
qualified specialist workshop.
WARNING
G
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other networked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as
intended and/or jeopardize the operating
safety of the vehicle. There is an increased
risk of an accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as electronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and electronic equipment carried out at aqualified
specialist workshop.
Z
Introduction
22
If you make any changes to the vehicle electronics, the general operating permit is rendered invalid.
There is arisk of damage to the vehicle if:
!
R
the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on ahigh
curb or an unpavedroad
R
you drive too fast over an obstacle,e.g. a
curb or ahole in the road
R
aheavy object strikes the undercarriage
or parts of the chassis
In situations like this, the body,the undercarriage, chassis parts, wheels or tires
could be damaged withoutthe damage
being visible. Components damaged in this
way can unexpectedly fail or, in the case of
an accident, no longer withstand the strain
they are designed to.
If the underbody paneling is damaged,
combustible materials such as leaves,
grass or twigs can gather betweenthe
underbody and the underbody paneling. If
these materials come in contact with hot
parts of the exhaust system, they can catch
fire.
In such situations, have the vehicle
checked and repaired immediately at a
qualified specialist workshop. If on continuing yourjourney you notice that driving
safety is impaired, pullover and stop the
vehicle immediately,paying attention to
road and traffic conditions. In such cases,
visit aqualified specialist workshop.
