Protecting the environment
General notes
H
Environmental note
The pollutant emission of your vehicle is
directly related to the vehicle's operation.
You can make a contribution to environmental protection by operating your vehicle in an
environmentally responsible manner. To do
this, observe the following recommendations
on operating conditions and your personal
driving style.
Operating conditions:
R Make sure that the tire pressure is correct.
R Do not carry any unnecessary weight with
you (e.g. a roof rack which is no longer
required).
R Observe the service intervals. A regularly
serviced vehicle will contribute to environ-
mental protection.
R Always have maintenance work carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
R Do not depress the accelerator pedal when
starting the engine.
R Do not warm up the engine while station-
ary.
R Drive carefully and maintain a sufficient dis-
tance to other vehicles.
R Avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
braking.
R Shift gears in good time and use each gear
only up to 00C3of its maximum engine speed.
R Switch off the engine in stationary traffic,
e.g. use the ECO start/stop function.
R Drive in a fuel-saving manner. Pay attention
to the ECO display for a fuel-efficient driving
style. Environmental concerns and recom-
mendations
Wherever the Operator's Manual requires you to
dispose of materials, first try to recycle or re-use them. Observe the relevant environmental rules
and regulations when disposing of materials. In
this way you will help to protect the environ-
ment. Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
H
Environmental 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:
R doors
R door pillars
R door sills
R seats
R cockpit
R instrument cluster
R center console
Do not install accessories such as audio sys-
tems in these areas. Do not carry out repairs or welding. You could impair the operating
efficiency of the restraint systems.
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 as well as accessories relevant to safety which
have not been approved by Mercedes-Benz. This could lead to malfunctions in safety-relevant
systems, e.g. the brake system. Use only genu-
ine Mercedes-Benz parts or parts of equal qual-
ity. Only use tires, wheels and accessories that
have been specifically approved for your vehi-
cle.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts are subject to
strict quality control. Every part has been spe-
cifically developed, manufactured or selected
for and adapted to Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Therefore, only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
should be used. 24

!
Do not warm up the engine while stationary.
Pull away immediately. Avoid high engine
speeds and full throttle until the engine has
reached its operating temperature.
In vehicles with automatic transmission,
engage positions P and R only when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
Where possible, avoid spinning the drive
wheels when pulling away on slippery roads.
You could otherwise damage the drive train.
! During a cold start with low engine oil tem-
peratures (below 32 ‡) (0 †), the maximum
engine speed is restricted in order to protect
the engine. To protect the engine and main-
tain smooth engine operation, avoid driving at full throttle when the engine is cold. Key positions
Start/Stop button General notes
All vehicles are equipped with a Start/Stop but-
ton.
The Start/Stop button is located in the center
console and is illuminated when the vehicle is
unlocked.
The SmartKey must be in the vehicle.
Pressing the Start/Stop button several times in succession corresponds to the different Smart-
Key positions in the ignition lock. This is only the
case if you are not depressing the brake pedal.
If you depress the brake pedal and press the
Start/Stop button, the engine starts immedi-
ately.
A check which periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the Smart-
Key determines whether a valid SmartKey is in
the vehicle. This occurs, for example, when
starting the engine.
If there is a SmartKey in the ignition lock, this
takes precedence over the KEYLESS-GO start
function.
To start the vehicle without actively using the
SmartKey:
R the SmartKey must be in the vehicle
R the vehicle must not be locked with the
SmartKey or KEYLESS-GO (Y page 67)Do not keep the SmartKey:
R with electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone
or another SmartKey
R with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal foil
R inside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case
This can affect the functionality of the Smart-
Key.
If you lock the vehicle with the SmartKey remote control or with KEYLESS-GO, after a short time:
R you will not be able to switch on the ignition
with the Start/Stop button
R you will no longer be able to start the engine
with the Start/Stop button until the vehicle is
unlocked again
If you lock the vehicle centrally using the button
on the driver's door (Y page 72), you can con-
tinue to start the engine with the Start/Stop
button.
The engine can be switched off while the vehicle
is in motion by pressing and holding the Start/
Stop button for three seconds. This function
operates independently of the ECO start/stop
automatic engine switch-off function.
Key positions with the Start/Stop button As soon as the ignition is switched on, all the
indicator lamps in the instrument cluster light
up. Further information on situations where an
indicator lamp either fails to go out after starting the engine or lights up while driving
(Y page 200).
If Start/Stop button 0043has not yet been
pressed, this corresponds to the SmartKey
being removed from the ignition.
X To switch on the power supply: press
Start/Stop button 0043once.
The power supply is switched on. You can now
activate the windshield wipers, for example. If you press Start/Stop button 0043twice in this 110

key position, the power supply is switched off
again.
X To switch on the ignition: press Start/Stop
button 0043twice.
The ignition is switched on.
If you press Start/Stop button 0043once when
in this position, the ignition is deactivated
again. 0043

Important safety notes G
WARNING
If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle, they could:
R open the doors, thus endangering other
people or road users.
R get out and disrupt traffic.
R operate the vehicle's equipment.
Additionally, children could set the vehicle in
motion if, for example, they:
R release the parking brake.
R shifting the automatic transmission out of
park position P
R Start the engine.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never
leave children or animals unattended in the
vehicle. Always keep the SmartKey out of
reach of children. G
DANGER
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaust gases is hazardous to health
and can result in poisoning. There is a risk of
fatal injury. Therefore, never leave the engine running an enclosed space without adequate
ventilation. G
WARNING
Flammable materials introduced through
environmental influence or by animals can
ignite if in contact with the exhaust system or parts of the engine that heat up. There is a risk
of fire.
Carry out regular checks to make sure that
there are no flammable foreign materials in
the engine compartment or in the exhaust
system. Driving
