Protection of 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 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.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine, transmission, brake and tyre 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
avoid short trips, as these increase fuel consumption.
R
observe the correct tyre pressure.
R
do not carry any unnecessary weight in the vehicle.
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
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
monitor the vehicle's fuel consumption.

Returning an end-of-life vehicle

EU countries only:
Mercedes-Benz will take back your old vehicle to dispose of it in an environmentally-respon­sible manner in accordance with the Euro­pean Union (EU) End of Life Vehicles Direc­tive.
There is a network of return points and dis­assembly plants available. You can return your vehicle to these plants free of charge. This makes a valuable contribution to the recycling process and the conservation of resources.
For further information on recycling old vehi­cles, recovery and the terms of the policy, visit the Mercedes-Benz homepage.

Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts

Environmental note
H
Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned assemblies and parts which are of the same quality as new parts. For these, the same war­ranty applies as for new parts.
!
Airbags and seat belt tensioners, as well as control units and sensors for these restraint systems, may be installed in the following areas of your vehicle:
R
doors
R
door pillars
R
door sills
R
seats
R
dashboard
R
instrument cluster
R
centre console
Z
Introduction
24
Do not install accessories such as audio systems in these areas. Do not carry out repairs or welding. You could impair the operating efficiency of the restraint sys­tems.
Have accessories retrofitted at a qualified specialist workshop.
You could jeopardise the operating safety of your vehicle if you use parts, tyres and wheels as well as accessories relevant to safety which have not been approved by Mercedes. 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 tyres, wheels and accessories that have been specifically approved for your vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts and con­version parts and accessories that have been specifically approved for your vehicle for their reliability, safety and suitability. Despite ongoing market research, Mercedes-Benz is unable to assess other parts. Mercedes-Benz therefore accepts no responsibility for the use of such parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if they have been officially approved or independently approved by a testing centre.
In Germany, certain parts are only officially approved for installation or modification if they comply with legal requirements. This also applies to some other countries. All gen­uine Mercedes-Benz parts meet the approval requirements. The use of non-approved parts may invalidate the vehicle's general operating permit.
This is the case:
R
if they cause a change of the vehicle type from that for which the vehicle's general operating permit was granted
R
if other road users could be endangered
R
if the emission or noise levels are adversely affected
Always specify the vehicle identification num­ber (VIN) (Y page 468) when ordering genu­ine Mercedes-Benz parts.

Owner's Manual

Vehicle equipment

This Owner's Manual describes all models and all standard and optional equipment available for your vehicle at the time of pub­lication of the Owner's Manual. Country-spe­cific differences are possible. Note that your vehicle may not be fitted with all features described. This is also the case for systems and functions relevant to safety. Therefore, the equipment on your vehicle may differ from that in the descriptions and illustrations.
The original purchase contract documenta­tion for your vehicle contains a list of all of the systems in your vehicle.
Should you have any questions concerning equipment and operation, please consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The Owner's Manual and Service Booklet are important documents and should kept in the vehicle.

Operating safety

Important safety notes

G
If you do not have the prescribed service/ maintenance work or necessary repairs car­ried out, this could result in malfunctions or system failures. There is a risk of an accident.
Always have the prescribed service/mainte­nance work as well as necessary repairs car­ried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
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 a risk of an accident.
Do not switch off the ignition while driving.
Introduction
25
G
Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring could effect their function and/or the operation of other net­worked components. This could in particular also be the case for systems relevant to safety. They might not function properly any more and/or jeopardise the operational safety of the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an accident and injury.
Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as electronic components or their software. Always have work on electrical and electronic components 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 kerb or an unpaved road
R
you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a kerb 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 tyres 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 panelling is damaged, combustible materials such as leaves, grass or twigs can gather between the underbody and the underbody panelling. If these materials come in contact with hot parts of the exhaust system for an exten­ded period, they can catch fire.
In such cases, 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, visit a qualified specialist workshop.

Declarations of conformity

Wireless vehicle components
The following information applies to all com­ponents of the vehicle and the information systems and communication devices integra­ted into the vehicle which receive and/or transmit radio waves:
The components of this vehicle that receive and/or transmit radio waves are compliant with the basic requirements and all other rel­evant conditions of Directive 1999/5/EC. You can obtain further information from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Electromagnetic compatibility
The electromagnetic compatibility of the vehi­cle components has been checked and certi­fied according to the currently valid version of Regulation ECE-R 10.

Diagnostics connection

The diagnostics connection is only intended for the connection of diagnostic equipment at a qualified specialist workshop.
G
If you connect equipment to a diagnostics connection in the vehicle, it can affect the operation of the vehicle systems. This may affect the operating safety of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not connect any equipment to a diagnos­tics connection in the vehicle.
G
Objects in the driver's footwell may restrict the clearance around the pedals or block a depressed pedal. This jeopardises the oper­ating and road safety of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Stow all objects securely in the vehicle so that they do not get into the driver's footwell. Always fit the floormats securely and as pre­scribed in order to ensure that there is always
Z
Introduction
26
sufficient room for the pedals. Do not use loose floormats and do not place several 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

A qualified specialist workshop has the nec­essary special skills, tools and qualifications to correctly carry out any necessary work on your vehicle. This particularly applies to work relevant to safety.
Observe the notes in the Service Booklet.
Always have the following work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop:
R
work relevant to safety
R
service and maintenance work
R
repair work
R
modifications, installations and conver­sions
R
work on electronic components
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

Vehicle registration

Mercedes-Benz may ask its Service Centres to carry out technical inspections on certain vehicles. The quality or safety of the vehicle is improved as a result of the inspection.
Mercedes-Benz can only inform you about vehicle checks if it has your registration data.
It is possible that your vehicle has not yet been registered in your name in the following cases:
R
if your vehicle was not purchased at an authorised specialist dealer.
R
if your vehicle has not yet been examined at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
It is advisable to register your vehicle with a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Inform Mercedes-Benz as soon as possible about any change in address or vehicle own­ership. You can do this at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, for example.

Correct use

If you remove any warning stickers, you or others could fail to recognise certain dangers. Leave warning stickers in position.
Observe the following information when driv­ing your vehicle:
R
the safety notes in this manual
R
the technical data in this manual
R
traffic rules and regulations
R
laws and safety standards pertaining to motor vehicles

Implied warranty

!
Follow the instructions in this manual about the proper operation of your vehicle as well as about possible vehicle damage. Damage to your vehicle that arises from culpable contraventions against these instructions are not covered either by Mercedes-Benz implied warranty or by the New or Used-Vehicle Warranty.

Data stored in the vehicle

A wide range of electronic components in your vehicle contain data memories.
Introduction
27
These data memories temporarily or perma­nently store technical information about:
R
the vehicle's operating state
R
events
R
faults
In general, this technical information docu­ments the state of a component, a module, a system or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
R
operating conditions of system compo­nents, e.g. fluid levels
R
the vehicle's status messages and those of its individual components, e.g. number of wheel revolutions/speed, deceleration in movement, lateral acceleration, accelera­tor pedal position
R
malfunctions and defects in important sys­tem components, e.g. lights, brakes
R
vehicle reactions and operating conditions in special driving situations, e.g. airbag 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 recognising and rectifying faults and defects
R
analyse vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci­dent
R
optimise 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 fault data memory.
Services include, for example:
R
repair services
R
service processes
R
warranties
R
quality assurance
It is read by employees of the service network (including manufacturers) using special diag-
nostic testers. More detailed information is obtained from it, if required.
After a fault has been rectified, the informa­tion is deleted from the fault memory or is continually overwritten.
When operating the vehicle, situations are conceivable in which this technical data, in connection with other information (if neces­sary, under consultation with an authorised expert), could be traced to a person.
Examples include:
R
accident reports
R
damage to the vehicle
R
witness statements
Further additional functions that have been contractually agreed upon with the customer allow certain vehicle data to be conveyed by the vehicle as well. The additional functions include, for example, vehicle location in case of an emergency.
