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:

operating conditionsofyour vehicle

your personal driving style

You can influence both factors. You should bear the following in mind:

Operating conditions:

avoid short trips as these increase fuel consumption.

always make sure that the tire pressures are correct.

do not carry any unnecessary weight.

remove roof racks once you no longer need them.

aregularly serviced vehicle will contribute to environmental protection. You should therefore adhere to the service intervals.

always have service work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

Personal driving style:

do not depress the accelerator pedal when startingthe engine.

do not warm up the engine when the vehicle is stationary.

drive carefully and maintain asafe distance from the vehicle in front.

avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and braking.

change gear in good time and use each gear only up to Ô of its maximum engine speed.

switch off the engine in stationary traffic.

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.

Operating safety

Important safetynotes

WARNING

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

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

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:

the vehicle becomes stuck,e.g. on ahigh curb or an unpaved road

you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a curb or ahole in the road

aheavy objectstrikes the undercarriage or parts of the chassis

In situationslike 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 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 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.

malfunctionsand defects in important system components, e.g. lights, brakes

vehicle reactionsand operating conditions in special driving situations, e.g. air bag deployment,intervention of stability control systems

ambient conditions, e.g. outside temperature

This data is of an exclusively technical nature and can be used to:

assist in recognizing and rectifying malfunctions and defects

analyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an accident

Introduction

Data stored in the vehicle

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.

After amalfunction has been rectified, the information is deleted from the malfunction 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

Introduction

consultation with an authorized expert), could be traced to aperson.

Examples include:

accident reports

damage to the vehicle

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.

COMAND/mbrace (Canada: TELEAID)

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 or the Digital Operator's Manual and/or the mbrace Terms and Conditions.

Event datarecorders

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDRistorecord, in certain crash or near crash-likesituations, such as an air bag deployment or hittingaroad obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how avehicle's systems performed. The EDRisdesigned to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for ashort period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

The EDRinthis vehicle is designed to record such data as:

How various systems in your vehicle were operating

Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened

How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal and

How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide abetter understandingofthe circumstances in which accidents and injuries occur. NOTE: EDRdata are recorded by your vehicle only if anon-trivial crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDRunder normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g. name, gender, age and accident location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement could combine EDRdata with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during acrash investigation.

Access to the vehicle and/or the EDRisneeded to read data that is recorded by the EDR, and special equipment is required. 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.

EDRdata may be used in civil and criminal matters as atool in accident reconstruction, accident claims and vehicle safety. Sincethe Crash Data Retrieval CDR tool that is used to extract data from the EDRiscommercially available, Mercedes-Benz USA,LLC ("MBUSA") expressly disclaims any and all liability arising from the extraction of this information by unauthorized Mercedes-Benz personnel.

MBUSA will not share EDRdata with others without the consentofthe

he vehicle is leased, without the consentofthe
