Protection of the environment
General notes
H
Environmental note
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 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
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 ar egularly 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
startingt he 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 001Bof 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
H
Environmental note
Daimler AG also suppliesr econditioned 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 these restraint systems, may be
installed in the following areas of your
vehicle:
R doors
R door pillars
R door sills
R seats
R cockpit
R instrumen tcluster
R center console
Do not install accessories such as audio
systems in these areas. Do not carry out
repairs or welding. You could impair the
operating efficienc yofthe restraint
systems. Introduction

decisive role in the deployment of an air bag,
nor do they provide an indication of air bag
deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed significantly,
e.g. the hood or the fender ,without an air bag
being deployed. This is the case if only parts
which are relatively easily deformed are
affected and the rate of deceleration is not
high. Conversely, air bags may be deployed
even though the vehicle suffers only minor
deformation. This is the case if, for example,
very rigid vehicle parts such as longitudinal
body members are hit, and sufficient
deceleration occurs as aresult.
i The fron tEmergenc yTensioning Devices
can only be triggered if the seat belt
tongues on the fron tseats are correctly
engaged in the seat belt buckles.
i Not all air bags are deployed in an
accident. The differen tair bag systems
work independently of each other.
How the air bag system work sis
determined by predictin gthe severity of
the accident ,especially vehicle
deceleration or acceleration, and the type
of accident:
R head-on collision
R side impact
R rollover
Safety guidelines for seat belts,
Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs)
and air bags G
WARNING
R Damaged seat belts or seat belts that have
been subjected to stress in an accident
must be replaced. Their anchorin gpoints
must also be checked. Only use seat belts
installed or supplied by an authorized
Mercedes-Ben zCenter.
R Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergency
Tensionin gDevices (ETDs) contain
perchlorat ematerial, which may require
special handlin gand regar dfor the environment. Check your national disposal
guidelines. In California, see
www.dtsc.ca.gov/HazardousWaste/
Perchlorate/index.cfm.
R Air bags and ETD sare designed to function
on aone-time-only basis. An air bag or ETD
that has deployed must be replaced.
R Do not pass seat belts over sharp edges.
They could tear.
R Do not make any modification that could
change the effectiveness of the seat belts.
R Do not bleach or dye seat belts ,asthis may
severely weaken them. In acrash, the ymay
not be able to provide adequate protection.
R Do not make any modifications to the SRS
wirin gorc omponents.
R Do not modif yorremove any components
or part softhe SRS.
R Do not install additional trim material, seat
covers, badges, etc .tothe:
- padded steering wheel boss
- knee bag covers
- front-passenger air bag cover
- outer side of front seat bolsters
- outer seat bolsters of the rear bench seat
backrest
- roof frame trim
R Do not install additional electrical/
electronic equipment on or near SRS
components and wiring.
R Keep the area between the air bags and
occupant sfree of object s(e.g. packages,
handbags, umbrellas etc.).
R Do not hang any objects such as coat
hangers on the coat hooks or the grab
handle above the door. These items may be
thrown around in the vehicle and cause
head and other injuries when the window
curtain air bag is deployed.
R Air bag system componentsw ill be hot after
an air bag has inflated. Do not touch them.
R Never rest your feet on the dashboard or
the seat. Always keep both feet on the floor
in fron tofthe seat. 42

Sid eimpac tair bags will not deploy in side
impacts which do not exceed the system's
prese tdeployment thresholds for lateral
acceleration/deceleration .You will then be
protected by the fastened seat belt.
The side impact air bag on the front-
passenger side is not deployed in the
following situations:
R OCS has detected that the front-passenger
seat is unoccupied.
R the front-passenger seat belt is not
fastened.
The side impact air bag on the front-

WARNING
If the 000E0013 indicator lamp illuminates
when an adult or someone larger than asmall
individual is in the front-passenger seat, have
the front passenger reposition himself or
herself in the seat until the 000E0013
indicator lamp goes out.
In the event of acollision, the air bag control
unit will not allow front-passenger front air
bag deployment when the OCS has classified
the front-passenger seat occupant as
weighing as much as or less than atypical 12-
month-old child in astandard child restraint
or if the front-passenger seat is classified as
being empty.
When the OCS senses that the front-
passenger seat occupant is classified as
being up to or less than the weight of atypical
12-month-old child in astandard child
restraint ,the 000E0013 indicator lamp will
illuminate when the engine is started and
remain illuminated, indicating that the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated.

accident, heav
ybraking or sudden changes of
direction .Asaresult, child restraint systems
cannot perform their intended protective
function. Rear seat backrests that are not
locked can also cause additional injuries, e.g.
in the event of an accident. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Always lock rear seat backrests after
installing aTop Tether belt. Observe the lock
verification indicator. Adjust the rear seat
backrests so that they are positioned
vertically. Top Tether provides an additional connection
between achild restraint system, secured
with aLATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat mount,
and the rear seat. This helps reduce the risk
of injury even further. If the child restraint
system is installed with Top Tether, this
should always be used.
The Top Tether anchorage points are installed
on the rear side of the rear seat backrests.

sure that you do not interfere with the
correct routing of Top Tether belt 0024.
X Install the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child
restraint system with Top Tether. Comply
with the manufacturer's installation
instructions when doing so. Make sure that
Top Tether belt 0024is tight. Child-proof locks
