Protecting 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 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
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.
Introduction
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, 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.
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.
Declarations of conformity
USA: "The wireless devices of this vehicle com-
ply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the two following two conditions: 1) These devices may not cause harmful interfer­ence, and 2) These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment."
Canada: "The wireless devices of this vehicle comply with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the fol­lowing two conditions: (1) These devices may not cause interference, and (2) These devices must accept any interference, including inter­ference that may cause undesired operation of the device."

Diagnostics connection
The diagnostics connection is only intended for the connection of diagnostic equipment at a qualified specialist workshop.
WARNING
G
If you connect equipment to a diagnostics connection in the vehicle, it may affect the operation of vehicle systems. As a result, the operating safety of the vehicle could be affec­ted. There is a risk of an accident.
Only connect equipment to a diagnostics con­nection in the vehicle, which is approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.
WARNING
G
Objects in the driver's footwell can restrict the pedal travel or obstruct a depressed pedal. The operating and road safety of the vehicle is jeopardized. There is a risk of an accident.
Make sure that all objects in the vehicle are stowed correctly, and that they cannot enter the driver's footwell. Install the floormats securely and as specified in order to ensure sufficient clearance for the pedals. Do not use loose floormats and do not place 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.
Qualified specialist workshop
An authorized Mercedes-Benz Center is a quali­fied specialist workshop. It has the necessary specialist knowledge, tools and qualifications to correctly carry out the work required on your vehicle. This is especially the case for work rel­evant to safety.

Always have the following work carried out at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center:
R
work relevant to safety
R
service and maintenance work
R
repair work
R
alterations, installation work and modifica­tions
R
work on electronic components

Observe the following information when driving your vehicle:
R
the safety notes in this manual
R
technical data for the vehicle
R
traffic rules and regulations
R
laws and safety standards pertaining to motor vehicles
Problems with your vehicle

Data stored in the vehicle
Data storage
A wide range of electronic components in your vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or perma­nently store technical information about:
R
the vehicle's operating state
R
incidents
R
malfunctions

R
malfunctions anddefects in important system components, e.g. lights, brakes
R
vehicle reactions and operating conditions in special driving situations, e.g. air bag deploy­ment, intervention of stability control sys­tems
R
ambient conditions, e.g. outside temperature
This data is of an exclusively technical nature and can be used to:
R
assist in recognizing and rectifying malfunc­tions and defects
R
analyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci­dent
R
optimize vehicle functions
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's movements.
When your vehicle is serviced, technical infor­mation can be read from the event data memory and malfunction data memory.
Services include, for example:
R
repair services
R
service processes
R
warranties
R
quality assurance
The vehicle is read out by employees of the ser­vice network (including the manufacturer) using special diagnostic testers. More detailed infor­mation is obtained from it, if required.
