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 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-
!
ces, 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
cockpit
R
instrument cluster
R
center console
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 aftermarket accessories installed at a qualified specialist workshop.
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 Mercedes-Benz. This could lead to malfunctions in safety-relevant

Sports Utility Vehicle
WARNING
G
Due to the high center of gravity, the vehicle may start to skid and roll over in the event of an abrupt steering maneuver and/or when the vehicle's speed is not adapted to the road conditions. There is a risk of an accident.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to the vehicle's driving characteristics and to the prevailing road and weather conditions.
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll­over rate than other types of vehicles.
Failure to operate this vehicle safely may result in an accident, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is signif­icantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.
You and all vehicle occupants should always wear your seat belts.
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, 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)
Z
Introduction
28
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 con- nection can lead to emissions monitoring infor-
mation 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.
Observe the notes in the Maintenance Booklet. Always have the following work carried out at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center:
