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 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:
R
operating conditions of your 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
a regularly 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 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
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 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-

R
doors
R
door pillars
R
door sills
R
seats
R
cockpit
R
instrument cluster

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 Mercedes­Benz. 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.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts are subject to strict quality control. Every part has been spe­cifically developed, manufactured or selected for and adapted to Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts should therefore be used.
More than 300,000 different genuine Mercedes-Benz parts are available for Mercedes-Benz models.
All authorized Mercedes-Benz Centers main­tain a supply of genuine Mercedes-Benz parts for necessary service and repair work. In addi­tion, strategically located parts delivery cen­ters provide quick and reliable parts service.

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 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
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or twigs may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system. There is a risk 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 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 or a hole in the road
R
a heavy 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 without the damage being visible. Components damaged in this way can unexpectedly fail or, in the case of
Introduction
25
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 between the 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 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.

Data stored in the vehicle
Data recording
This vehicle is capable of recording diagnostic information relating to vehicle operation, mal­functions, and user settings. This may include information about the performance or status of various systems, including but not limited to, engine, throttle, steering or brake sys­tems, that is stored and can be read out with suitable devices, particularly when the vehi­cle is serviced. The data obtained is used to properly diagnose and service your vehicle or to further optimize and develop vehicle func­tions.
COMAND/mbrace
If the vehicle is equipped with COMAND or mbrace, additional data about the vehicle’s operation, the use of the vehicle in certain situations, and the location of the vehicle may be compiled through COMAND or the mbrace system.
For additional information please refer to the COMAND User Manual and/or the mbrace Terms and Conditions.
Event data recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record data that will assist in under­standing how a vehicle’s systems performed in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as during air bag deployment or when hitting a road obstacle. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
R
how various systems in your vehicle are operating
R
whether or not the driver and passenger seat belts are fastened
R
how far (if at all) the driver is depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal and
R
how fast the vehicle is traveling
This data can help provide a better under­standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, can combine the EDR data with the type of per­sonal identification data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi­cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties that have the special equipment, such as law enforce­ment, can read the information by accessing the vehicle or the EDR.
EDR data may be used in civil and criminal matters as a tool in accident reconstruction, accident claims, and vehicle safety. Since the Crash Data Retrieval CDR tool that is used to extract data from the EDR is commercially available, Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC
Z

("MBUSA") expressly disclaims any and all lia­bility arising from the extraction of this infor­mation by unauthorized Mercedes-Benz per­sonnel.
MBUSA will not share EDR data with others without the consent of the vehicle owners or, if the vehicle is leased, without the consent of the lessee. Exceptions to this representation include responses to subpoenas by law enforcement; by federal, state or local gov­ernment; in connection with or arising out of litigation involving MBUSA or its subsidiaries and affiliates; or, as required by law.
Warning: The EDR is a component of the Restraint System Module. Tampering with, altering, modifying or removing the EDR com­ponent may result in a malfunction of the Restraint System Module and other systems.
State laws or regulations regarding EDRs that conflict with federal regulation are pre-emp­ted. This means that in the event of such con­flict, the federal regulation governs. As of February 2013, 13 states have enacted laws relating to EDRs.
