Protecting 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
Introduction
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.
Energy consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tire 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
observe the correct tire pressure.
R
avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
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
drive carefully and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front.
R
avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
braking.
R
monitor the vehicle's energy consumption.
Environmental note
H
Have a defective high-voltage battery disposed of in an environmentally-responsible
manner. Contact a qualified specialist workshop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
for this purpose.
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.

Operating safety
Important safety notes
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 a risk of an accident.
Always have the prescribed service/maintenance work as well as any required repairs
carried out at 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 a qualified
specialist workshop.
There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
!
R
the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high
curb or an unpaved road
R
you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
curb, speed bumps or a pothole in the road
R
a heavy object strikes the underbody or
parts of the chassis
In situations like this, the body, the underbody, chassis parts, wheels or tires could be
damaged without the 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.
In such situations, have the vehicle checked
and repaired immediately at a qualified specialist workshop. If on continuing your journey you notice that driving safety is impaired,
pull over and stop the vehicle immediately,
paying attention to road and traffic conditions. In such cases, consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Danger of electric shock
DANGER
G
The vehicle's high-voltage electrical system is
under high voltage. If you modify components
in the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
or touch damaged components, you may be
electrocuted. The components in the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system may be
damaged in an accident, although the damage
is not visible. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Following an accident, do not touch any highvoltage components and never modify the
vehicle's high-voltage electrical system. Have
the vehicle towed away after an accident and
the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
checked by a qualified specialist workshop.
Operating safety
All of the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system components are marked with yellow warning stickers which warn you about high voltages.
The cables of the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system are orange.
When towing a vehicle after an accident, be sure
to observe the following sections:
R
Transporting the vehicle (Y page 254)
R
Towing the vehicle with the front axle raised
(Y page 253)
R
Towing a vehicle with both axles on the
ground (Y page 253)
Read the important safety instructions on towing away (Y page 251).
The ignition must be switched off when carrying
out general tasks, such as changing bulbs or
checking the coolant level.
Automatic switching off of the vehicle's
high-voltage electrical system
If the restraint systems are activated during an
accident, the vehicle's high-voltage electrical
system is automatically deactivated.
This is to ensure that you do not come into contact with high voltage.
Automatic protection from switching
on of the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
The vehicle's high-voltage electrical system is
not activated when the vehicle is started if:
R
a serious electrical insulation malfunction is
detected in the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system

Warning
Vehicles with an electric motor generate much
less driving noise than vehicles with internal
combustion engines. As a result, your vehicle
may not be heard by other road users until it is
very close to them, or it may not be heard at all.
This is particularly the case if other road users
have not yet seen your vehicle but are instead
relying on hearing. Drive with particular care,
allowing for the possibility that other road users
may behave unpredictably.
The vehicle is equipped with a sound generator.
The sound generator is activated so that other
road users can hear your vehicle better. The
sound generator is activated at speeds of under
20 mph (30 km/h) and switches off automatically at higher speeds.
