Protection of the environment
Notes
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 a manner
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 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 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 a regularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
R always have maintenance work carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Personal driving style
R do not depress the accelerator pedal when
starting the engine.
R do not warm up the engine with the vehicle
stationary. R
drive carefully and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front.
R avoid frequent, sudden acceleration.
R change gear in good time and use each gear
only up to ⅔ofits maximum engine speed.
R switch off the engine in stationary traffic. Returning use
dvehicles
Mercedes-Ben zwill take back your
Mercedes-Ben zto dispose of it in an environ-
mentally responsible manner ,inaccordance
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 allows for recycling and reuse.
There is a network of return points and dis-
assembly plants which can recycle yourv ehi-
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-Benzh omepage
or your national hotline number. Vehicle equipment
This manual describes all the standard and
optional equipment of your vehicle available
at the time of publication of the Owner's Man-
ual. Country-specific differences are possi-
ble. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not
feature all functions described here. This also
refers to safety-related systems and func-
tions. The equipment in your vehicle may
therefore differ from that shown in the
descriptions and illustrations. All the systems
found in your vehicle are listed in the original Introduction
