Protection of the environment

General notes

Environmental note

Daimler's declared policy is one of compre-

hensive 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 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 environmen-

tally responsible manner.

Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,

transmission, brake and tire wear are affected

by these factors:

operating conditions of your vehicle

your personal driving style

You can influence both factors. You should

bear the following in mind:

Operating conditions:

avoid short trips as these increase fuel con-

sumption.

always make sure that the tire pressures

are correct.

do not carry any unnecessary weight.

remove roof racks once you no longer need

them.

a regularly serviced vehicle will contribute

to environmental protection. You should

therefore adhere to the service intervals.

always have service work carried out at a

qualified specialist workshop.

Personal driving style:

do not depress the accelerator pedal when

starting the engine.

do not warm up the engine when the vehicle

is stationary.

drive carefully and maintain a safe distance

from the vehicle in front.

avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and

braking.

change gear in good time and use each gear

only up to Ô of its maximum engine speed.

switch off the engine in stationary traffic.

keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel consump-

tion.

Environmental concerns and recom-

mendations

Wherever the operating instructions require

you to dispose of materials, first try to regen-

erate 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

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:

doors

door pillars

door sills

seats

cockpit

instrument cluster

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 efficiency of the restraint sys-

tems.

Have aftermarket accessories installed at a

qualified specialist workshop.

Introduction

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.

This could lead to malfunctions in safety-rel-

evant systems, e.g. the brake system. Use

only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts or parts of

equal quality. Only use tires, wheels and

accessories that have been specifically

approved for your vehicle.

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.

Only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts should

therefore be used.

More than 300,000 different genuine

Mercedes-Benz parts are available for

Mercedes-Benz models.

All authorized Mercedes-Benz Centers main-

tain a supply of genuine Mercedes-Benz parts

for necessary service and repair work. In addi-

tion, strategically located parts delivery cen-

ters provide quick and reliable parts service.

Always specify the vehicle identification num-

ber (VIN) when ordering genuine Mercedes-

Benz parts (Y page 360).
