Protection of the environment
General notes
HEnvironmental note
Daimler's declared policy is one of com-
prehensive environmental protection.
The objectives are for the natural resour-
ces that form the basis of our existence on
this planet to be used sparingly and in a
manner 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 environ-
mentally responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tire wear are
affected by these factors:
Roperating conditions of your vehicle
Ryour personal driving style
You can influence both factors. You should
bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions:
Ravoid short trips as these increase fuel
consumption.
Ralways make sure that the tire pressures
are correct.
Rdo not carry any unnecessary weight.
Ra regularly serviced vehicle will con-
tribute to environmental protection. You
should therefore adhere to the service
intervals.
RAlways have service work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
Rdo not depress the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine.
Rdo not warm up the engine when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
Rdrive carefully and maintain a safe dis- tance from the vehicle in front.
Ravoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
braking.
Rchange gear in good time and use each
gear only up to 00C3of its maximum engine
speed.
Rswitch off the engine in stationary traf-
fic.
Rkeep an eye on the vehicle's fuel con-
sumption.
Environmental concerns and recom-
mendations
Wherever the operating instructions require you to dispose of materials, first try to
regenerate or re-use them. Observe the rel-
evant environmental rules and regulations
when disposing of materials. In this way you
will help to protect the environment.
Genuine smart parts
HEnvironmental note
Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned
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 Devi-
ces, as well as control units and sensors for
these restraint systems, may be installed
in the following areas of your vehicle:
Rdoors
Rdoor pillars
Rdoor sills
Rseats
Rcockpit
Rinstrument cluster
Rcenter console
Do not install accessories such as audio
systems in these areas. Do not carry out
repairs or welding. You could impair the
operating efficiency of the restraint sys-
tems.
Have aftermarket accessories installed at
a qualified specialist workshop.
You could jeopardize the operating safety of
your vehicle if you use parts, tires and wheels
16>> Introduction.

Braking
XIf ABS intervenes:continue to depress the
brake pedal vigorously until the braking
situation is over.
XTo make a full brake application: depress
the brake pedal with full force.
If abs intervenes when braking, you will feel
a pulsing in the brake pedal.
The pulsating brake pedal can be an indica-
tion of hazardous road conditions, and func-
tions as a reminder to take extra care while
driving.
Forward collision warning
General information
The distance warning function can help you to
minimize the risk of a collision with a vehi-
cle ahead or reduce the effects of such an
accident. If the distance warning function
detects that there is a risk of a collision, you
will be warned visually and acoustically.
Starting the engine also switches on the dis-
tance warning function.
Important safety notes
GWARNING
The distance warning function does not
react:
Rto people or animals
Rto oncoming vehicles
Rto crossing traffic
Rwhen cornering
Thus, the distance warning function cannot
provide a warning in all critical situa-
tions. There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
situation and be ready to brake.
GWARNING
The distance warning function cannot
always clearly identify objects and com-
plex traffic situations.
In such cases, the distance warning func-
tion may:
Rgive an unnecessary warning
Rnot give a warning
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay careful attention to the traffic
situation and do not rely solely on the dis-
tance warning function.
Observe the "Important safety notes" section for driving safety systems (
Ypage 47).
In particular, the detection of obstacles can
be impaired if:
Rthere is dirt on the sensors or anything else
covering the sensors.
Rsnow or heavy rain
Rinterference by other radar sources
Rthe possibility of strong radar reflec-
tions, for example in parking garages
Ra narrow vehicle traveling in front, e.g. a
motorbike
Ra vehicle traveling in front on a different
line
Rnew vehicles or after a service on the dis-
tance warning system
Please observe the information in the sec-
tion on running-in the vehicle
(
Ypage 86).
Following damage to the front end of the vehi-
cle, have the configuration and operation of
the radar sensor checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. This also applies to colli-
sions at low speeds where there is no visible
damage to the front of the vehicle.
Function
48Driving safety systems
>> Safety.

XTo switch off:press button0044.
Indicator lamp 0043lights up.
XTo switch on: press button0044.
Indicator lamp 0043goes out.
Starting at a speed of around 4 mph (7 km/h),
the distance warning function warns you if
you rapidly approach a vehicle in front. An
intermittent warning tone will then sound
and the 00BAdistance warning lamp will
light up in the instrument cluster.
XBrake immediately in order to increase the distance from the vehicle in front.
or
XTake evasive action, provided it is safe to
do so.
Due to the nature of the system, particularly
complicated but non-critical driving condi-
tions may also cause the system to display a
warning.
With the help of the radar sensor system, the
distance warning function can detect obsta-
cles that are in the path of your vehicle for an
extended period of time.
Up to a speed of around 45 mph (70 km/h), the
distance warning function can also react to
stationary obstacles, such as stopped or
parked vehicles.
ESP®(Electronic Stability Program)
General notes
iObserve the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Ypage 47).
esp
®monitors driving stability and traction,
i.e. power transmission between the tires and the road surface.
If esp
®detects that the vehicle is deviating
from the direction desired by the driver, one
or more wheels are braked to stabilize the
vehicle. The engine output is also modified
to keep the vehicle on the desired course
within physical limits. esp
®assists the
driver when pulling away on wet or slippery
roads. esp
®can also stabilize the vehicle
during braking.
ETS (Electronic Traction System)
iObserve the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Ypage 47).
ETS traction control is part of esp
®.
ETS brakes the drive wheels individually if
they spin. This enables you to pull away and
accelerate on slippery surfaces, for example if the road surface is slippery on one side. In
addition, more drive torque is transferred to
the wheel with traction.
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If ESP
®is malfunctioning, ESP®is unable to
stabilize the vehicle. Additionally, fur-
ther driving safety systems are deactiva-
ted. This increases the risk of skidding and
an accident.
Drive on carefully. Have ESP
®checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
!If you test the parking brake using a brake
dynamometer, switch the ignition off.
Application of the brakes by ESP
®may oth-
erwise destroy the brake system.
When towing the vehicle with the rear axle
raised, observe the notes on esp
®
(Ypage 171).
If the 00E5esp®warning lamp lights up per-
manently, esp®or hill start assist are
unavailable due to a malfunction.
Observe the information on warning lamps
(
Ypage 134) and display messages which may
be shown in the instrument cluster
(
Ypage 121).
iOnly use wheels with the recommended
tire sizes. Only then will esp®function
properly.
Characteristics of ESP®
General information
If the 00E5esp®warning lamp goes out before
the journey begins, esp®is automatically
active.
If esp
®intervenes, the 00E5esp®warning
lamp flashes in the instrument cluster.

Notes on breaking-in a new vehicle
Important safety notes
In certain driving and driving safety sys-
tems, the sensors adjust automatically while
a certain distance is being driven after the
vehicle has been delivered or after repairs.
Full system effectiveness is not reached until
the end of this teach-in procedure.
New and replaced brake pads and discs only
reach their optimum braking effect after sev-
eral hundred kilometers of driving. Compen-
sate for this by applying greater force to the brake pedal.
The first 1000 miles (1500 km)
The more you look after the engine when it is
new, the more satisfied you will be with its
performance in the future.
RYou should therefore drive at varying vehi-
cle and engine speeds for the first
1000 miles (1500 km).
RAvoid heavy loads, e.g. driving at full
throttle, during this period.
RChange gear in good time, before the tach-ometer needle is 00C3of the way to the red
area of the tachometer.
RDo not manually shift to a lower gear to
brake the vehicle.
RVehicles with automatic transmission: if
possible, do not depress the accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point (kick-
down).
RVehicles with automatic transmission:
ideally, for the first 1000 miles(1500 km),
drive in program
E(Comfort).
After 1000 miles (1500 km), you can increase
the engine speed gradually and bring the
vehicle to full speed.
You should also observe these notes on run-
ning-in if the engine or parts of the drive
train on your vehicle have been replaced.
Observe the maximum permissible speed.
Driving
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell can
restrict the pedal travel or obstruct a
depressed pedal. The operating and road
safety of the vehicle is jeopardized. There
is a risk of an accident.
Make sure that all objects in the vehicle are
stowed correctly, and that they cannot enter
the driver's footwell. Install the floormats securely and as specified in order to
ensure sufficient clearance for the pedals.
Do not use loose floormats and do not place
floormats on top of one another.
GWARNING
Unsuitable footwear can hinder correct
usage of the pedals, e.g.:
Rshoes with thick soles
Rshoes with high heels
Rslippers
There is a risk of an accident.
Wear suitable footwear to ensure correct
usage of the pedals.
GWARNING
If you switch off the ignition while driv-
ing, safety-relevant functions are only
available with limitations, or not at all.
This could affect, for example, the power
