Protection of the environment
H
Environmental note
Daimler's declared policy is one of integrated
environmental protection.
The objectives are for the natural resources
which form the basis of our existence on this
planet to be used sparingly and in amanner
which takes the requirements of both nature
and humanity into account.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your vehicle in an environmen-
tally-responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tyre wear depend on
the following factors:
R operating condition sofyour 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 con-
sumption.
R make sure that the tyre pressures are
always correct.
R do not carry any unnecessary weight.
R keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel consump-
tion.
R remove roof racks once you no longer need
them.
R ar egularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
R always have maintenance work carried out
at aq ualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Personal driving style
R
do not depress the accelerator pedal when
startingt he engine.
R do not warm up the engine with the vehicle
stationary.
R drive carefully and maintain asafe distance
from the vehicle in front.
R avoid frequent, sudden acceleration.
R change gear in good time and use each gear
only up to 2
/ 3of its maximum engine speed.
R switch off the engine in stationary traffic. Returning used vehicles
Mercedes-Benz will take back your
Mercedes-Benz to dispose of it in an environ-
mentally-responsible manner, in accordance
with the European Union (EU) End of Life
Vehicles Directive.
The End of Life Vehicles Directive applies to
vehicles of up to 3.5 tgross vehicle weight, in
accordance with national regulations. For
several years, Mercedes-Benz has been
meeting all the legal requirements for a
design which allowsf or recycling and re-use.
There is anetwork of return points and dis-
assembly plants which can recycle your vehi-
cle in an environmentally-responsible man-
ner. The options for recycling vehicles and
parts are constantly being developed and
improved. This means that your Mercedes-
Benz will also continue to meet even the
increased recycling quotas in the future in
good time. You can obtain further information
from your national Mercedes-Benz homepage
or your national hotline number. Introduction

On vehicles with steering wheel gearshift
paddles* ,you can restrict or derestrict the
shift range in the same way as with Touch-
shift (Y page 103).
Program selector button The program selector button allows you to
choose between different driving character-
istics. C
Comfort comfortable, economical
driving
S
Sport sporty driving style
X
Press program selector button 0046repeat-
edly until the letter for the desired gearshift
program Cor Sappears in the multifunction
display.
i Regardless of whether automatic drive
program Cor Sis selected, the automatic
transmission always switches to drive pro-
gram Cwhen you next start the engine.
Drive program Cis characterised by the fol-
lowing:
R comfort-oriented engine and suspension
settings
R optimal fuel consumption resulting from
the automatic transmission shifting up
sooner
R the vehicle pulling awaym ore gently in
forward and reverse gears, unless the
accelerator pedal is depressed fully R
increased sensitivity; this improves driving
stability on slippery road surfaces, for
example
R the automatic transmission shifting up
sooner, which results in the vehicle being
driven at lower engine speeds and the
wheels being less likely to spin
Drive program Sis characterised by the fol-
lowing:
R sporty engine and suspension configura-
tion
R the vehicle pulling awayinf irst gear
R the automatic transmission shifting up
later
R as aresult of the later automatic transmis-
sion shift points, the fuel consumption may
be higher
Driving tips Accelerator pedal position
Your style of driving influences how the auto-
matic transmission shifts gear:
R
little throttle: early upshifts
R more throttle: late upshifts
Double-clutch function
E3 50 and E500 only: when shifting down,
the double-clutch function is active regard-
less of the currently selected drive program.
The double-clutch function reduces load
change reactions and is conducive to asporty
driving style. The sound generated by the
double-clutch function depends on the drive
program selected. 104
