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 amanner 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 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.

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.
Introduction
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.
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.
