Protection of 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 warmup the enginewhen 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 ingood time anduse 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 AGalso 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
Devices, as well as control units and
sensors for theserestraint systems, may be
installed in the following areas of your
vehicle:
R
doors
R
door pillars
R
door sills
R
seats
R
cockpit
R

R

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.

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
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 steeringand 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.
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 carriedout at a qualified
specialist workshop.
!
There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
R
the vehiclebecomes stuck,e.g. on a high
curb or an unpaved road
R
you drive too fastover an obstacle, e.g.
a curb or a hole in the road
R
a heavy object strikes the undercarriage
or parts of the chassis
Introduction
21
In situations like this, the body, the
undercarriage, chassis parts, wheels or
tires could be damaged withoutthe
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 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.

Data stored in the vehicle
Information about electronic data
acquisition in the vehicle
(Including notice pursuantto California Code
§ 9951)
Please note that your vehicle is equipped with
devices that can record vehicle systems data.
If your vehicle is equipped with mbrace
(Canada: TELE AID), data is transmitted in the
event of an accident.
This information helps, for example, to test
vehicle systems after an accident and to
continually improve vehicle safety.
Daimler AG can access thesedata and submit
them:
R
for safety research or vehicle diagnosis
purposes
R
with the consentofthe vehicle owner
R
on the instruction of prosecuting
authorities
R
for use in arbitration of disputes that
involve Daimler AG, its subsidiaries or its
sales and service organizations
R
as otherwise required or permitted by law
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as during air bag deployment
or when hitting a road obstacle. The EDR is
designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
R
how various systems in your vehicle are
operating
R
whether or not the driver and passenger
seat belts are fastened
Introduction
R
how far (if at all) the driver is depressing the
accelerator and/or brake pedal and
R
how fast the vehicle is traveling
This data can help provide abetter
understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data
is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by
the EDR under normal driving conditions and
no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age,
and crash location) are recorded. However,
other parties, such as law enforcement, can
combine the EDR data with the type of
personal identification data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, who have the special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
