Protection of th
eenvironment Notes
H
Environmental note
Daimler's declared polic yisone of integrated
environmental protection.
The objectives are for the natural resources
which form the basis of our existence on this
plane ttobeu sed sparingl yand 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 conditions of your vehicle
R your personal driving style
You can influence both factors.
You shoul dbear the following in mind:
Operating conditions
R avoid short trips as these increase fuel con-
sumption.
R mak esure 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 protec tion. You should
therefor eadhere to the service inter vals.
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
starti ngthe 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
/ 3 of 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 tgros svehicle weight, in
accordance with national regulations. For
sever alyears, Mercedes-Benz has been
meeting all the lega lrequirements for a
design which allows for recycling and reuse.
There is anetwor kofreturnpoint sand dis-
ass embly plants which can recycle your vehi-
cle in an environmentally-responsibl eman-
ner. The options for recyclin gvehicles and
part sare constantly being developed and
improved. This means that your Mercedes-
Benz will als ocontinue to meet even the
inc reased recyclin gquotas in the future in
good time. You can obtain further information
from your national Mercedes -Ben zh omepage
or your national hotlin enumber. 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

The ECO star t/stopfunction thereby helps
you to reduce the fuel consumption and emis-
sions of your vehicle. The ECO start/stop function is activated each
time the engine is switched on. The system is
operational when ECO symbol

the multifunction display.
! Always switch the ignition off and take the
key with you when leaving the vehicle.

For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that yo
uonly use wheel bolts of the
correct size which hav ebeena pproved for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

On vehicles that have the same size front and
rear wheels, you can interchange the wheels
every 500 0kmto10,000 km depending on
the degre eoftyre wear. Do not reverse the
direction of tyre rotation.

ginmind
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Ben zrec-
ommends that you only use tyres, wheels
and accessories which have been approved
by Mercedes-Ben zspecifically for your
vehicle. These tyres have been specially
adapted for use with the contro lsystems,
such as AB SorESP®
,a nd are marked as
follows:
R MO =Mercedes-Ben zOriginal
R MOE =Mercedes-Ben zOriginal Extended
(tyres with run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 =Mercedes-Ben zOriginal (AMG)
Only use Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
tyres on wheels that have been specifically
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
If you use other tyres, wheels and acces-
sories, Mercedes-Benz cannot accept any
responsibility for damage that may result
from this. Further informat ionabout tyres,
wheels and approved combinations can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
! If you fit tyres other than those tested and
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, charac-
teristics such as handling, noise levels and
fuel consumption, etc. may be adversely
affected. In addition, when driving with a
load, tyre dimensional variations could
caus ethe tyres to com einto contact with
the bod ywork and axle components. This
could result in dam agetot he tyres or the
vehicle.
i Further information about tyres and
wheels can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Servic eCentre.
i You will fin datable of tyre pressures on
the insid eofyourv ehicle' sfuel filler flap.
For further information on tyre pressure,
see (Y page 299).
i Notes on the vehicle equipment:
Always fit the vehicle:
R with tyres of the same size on agiven axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tyres at agiven
time (summer tyres, winter tyres,
MOExtended tyres)
i Vehicles featurin gthe MOExtended run-
fla ts ystem are not equipped with the
TIREFIT kit.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with the TIREFIT
kit if you fit tyres that do not feature run-
flat properties, e.g. winter tyres.
AT IREFIT kit is availa blef rom any qu alified
specialist workshop, e.g. aMercedes-Benz

Notes on fuel consump tion The vehicle will use mor

the following situations:
R at very low temperatures
R in urban traffic
R on sho rttrips
R when towing atrailer
R in mountainous terrain
i Only for certain countries: the respec tive
current consump tion and emission values
of your vehicle can be fou ndin the COC
papers (EC CERTIFICAT EOFCONFORM-
ITY). These documents ar esupplied when
the vehicle is delivered.
The consumption figures for vehicles up to
the EURO4 standard have been determined
in accordance with EU Directive 80/1 268/
EEC while figures for vehicles complying wit
hthe EURO5 standar dorhigher have
been determined in accordance with Reg-
ulation (EC) No. 715/2007 ,ineach case
based on the currently applicable version.
Deviations from these value smay occur
under norma loperating conditions.
! Do not use any special additives, as they
can cause malfunc tions and engin edam-
age. Damage resulting from the use of such
additives is not covered by the Mercedes-
Benz implied warranty. H
Environmental note
CO 2(carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien-
tists believe to be principally responsibl efor
global warmin g(the greenhouse effect). Your
vehicle's CO 2emissions are directly related to
fuel consumption and therefore depend on:
R efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R driving style
R othe rnon-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences or road conditions
You can minimise your vehicle' sCO
2emis-
sions by driving carefull yand having it serv-
iced regularly. 314
