Protection of the environment
General notes
H
Environmental note
Daimler's declared policy is one of compre-
hensive environmental protection.
Our objectives are to use the natural resour-
ces which form the basis of our existence on
this planet sparingly and in amanner which
takes the requirements of both nature and
humanity into consideration.
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. Therefore,
please bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions:
R avoid short trips, as these increase fuel
consumption.
R observe the correct tyre pressure.
R do not carry any unnecessary weight in the
vehicle.
R remove the roof rack once you no longer
need it.
R ar egularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
R all maintenance work should be carried out
at aq ualified 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 Ôof its maximum engine speed.
R switch off the engine in stationary traffic.
R monitor the vehicle's fuel consumption. Returning an end-of-life vehicle
EU countries only:
Mercedes-Benz will take back your old vehicle to dispose of it in an environmentally-respon-sible manner in accordance with the Euro-
pean Union (EU) End of Life Vehicles Direc-
tive.
There is anetwork of return points and dis-
assembly plants available. You can return
your vehicle to these plants free of charge.
This makes avaluable contribution to the
recycling process and the conservation of
resources.
For further information on recycling old vehi- cles, recovery and the terms of the policy,
visit the Mercedes-Benz homepage. Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts

Daimler AG also suppliesr econditioned
assemblies and parts which are of the same
quality as new parts. For these, the same war-
ranty appliesasf or new parts.

Objects in the vehicle interior may pre-
vent the airba gfrom functioning cor-
rectly. Beforestarting your journey and to
avoid risks resulting from the speed of the
airbag as it deploys, make sure that:
R there are no people, animals or objects
between the vehicle occupant sand an air-
bag.
R there are no objects between the seat, door
and B-pillar.
R no hard objects, e.g. coat hangers, are
hanging on the grab handles or coat hooks.
R no accessories, such as cup holders, are
attached to the vehicle within the deploy-
ment area of an airbag, e.g. to doors, side
windows, rear side trim or side walls.
R no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects
are in the pockets of your clothing. Store
such objects in asuitable place. G
WARNING
If you modify an airbag cover or affix objects
such as stickers to it, the airbag can no longer function correctly. There is an increased risk
of injury.
Never modify an airbag cover or affix objects
to it. G
WARNING
Sensors to control the airbags are located in
the doors. Modification sorwork not per-
formed correctly to the doors or door panel-
ling, as well as damaged doors, can lead to the function of the sensor sbeing impaired. The
airbags might therefore not function properly any more. Consequently, the airbags cannot
protec tvehicle occupant sasthey are
designed to do. This poses an increased risk
of injury.
Never modify the doors or parts of the doors.
Always have work on the doors or door pan-
elling carried out at aqualified specialist
workshop. Front airbags

R
vehicles with the memory function: the
front-passenge rseat is adjusted if it is in an
unfavourable position.
R vehicles with amulticontour seat or active
multicontour seat: the air pressure in the
side bolsters of the backrest is increased.
If the hazardous situation passes without
resulting in an accident, PRE-SAFE ®
slackens
the beltp re-tensioning. On vehicles with mul-
ticontour seats/active multicontour seats,
the air pressure in the side bolsters is reduced
again. All settings made by PRE-SAFE ®
can
then be reversed.
If the seat beltp re-tensioning is not reduced:
X Move the seat backrest or seat back
slightly when the vehicl eisstationary.
Seat beltp re-tensioning is reduced and the
locking mechanism is released.
The seat-belt adjustment is an integral part of
the PRE-SAFE ®
convenience function. Infor-
mation about the convenience function can
be found under "Bel tadjustment"
(Y page4 9). PRE-SAFE

PLUS( anticipatory occu-
pant protectio nPLUS)
Introduction PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS is only available in vehicles
with the Driving Assistance package.
Using the rada rsensor system, PRE-SAFE ®
PLUS is abletod etect thatahead-on or rear-
end collision is imminent. In certain hazard-
ous situations, PRE-SAFE ®
PLUS takes pre-
emptive measures to protect the vehicle
occupants.
Important safety notes The intervention of PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS cannot
prevent an imminent collision.
The drive risnot warned before the interven-
tion of PRE-SAFE ®
PLUS. PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS does not intervene:
R if the vehicl eisreversing
R when the vehicl eistowing atrailer and
there is arisk of arear-end collision
PRE-SAFE ®
PLUS does not perform braking
actions while the vehicl eisinmotion or when
Parking Guidance is active.
Function PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS intervenes in certain situa-
tions if the rada rsensor system detects an
imminent head-on or rear-end collision.
PRE-SAFE ®
PLUS takes the following meas-
ures depending on the hazardous situation
detected:
R If the rada rsensor system detects that a
head-on collision is imminent, the seat
belts are pre-tensioned.
R If the rada rsensor system detects that a
rear-end collision is imminent:
- the rear hazard warning lamp sare acti-
vated and flas hatahigher frequency.
- the brake pressure is increase difthe
drive rappliest he brakes when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
- the seat belts are pre-tensioned.
The PRE-SAFE ®
PLUS braking application is
cancelled:
R if the accelerator peda lisdepressed when
ag earise ngaged
R if the risk of acollision passes or is no lon-
ger detected
R if DISTRONIC PLUS indicates an intention
to pulla way
If the hazardous situation passes without
resulting in an accident, the original settings
are restored. Occupant safety
