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 Operator's Manual requires you to
dispose of materials, first try to regenerate or reuse them. Observe the relevant environmental

Operating safety
Important safetynotes
WARNING
G
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenancework 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
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,
checkthe 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 jeopardizethe operatingsafety of
the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an
accidentand injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as electronic componentsortheir software. You
should have all work to electrical and electronic equipment carried out at aqualified
specialist workshop.
Operating safety
There is arisk of damage to the vehicle if:
!
R
the vehicle becomes stuck,e.g. on ahigh
curb or an unpaved road
R
you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
curb, aspeed bump or apothole in the road
R
aheavy objectstrikes the underbody or
parts of the chassis
In situationslike 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 loads 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 catchfire.
In such situations, have the vehicle checked
and repaired immediately at aqualified specialist workshop. If on continuingyour 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 aqualified specialist workshop.
