Protection of the environment

ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental

damage due to operating conditions and

personal driving style

The pollutant emission of the vehicle is

directly related to the way you operate the

vehicle.

Operate your vehicle in an environmentally

responsible manner to help protect the envi-

ronment. Please observe the following recom-

mendations on operating conditions and per-

sonal driving style.

Operating conditions:

Make sure that the tyre pressure is cor-

rect.

Do not carry any unnecessary weight

(e.g. roof luggage racks once you no lon-

ger need them).

Adhere to the service intervals.

A regularly serviced vehicle will contrib-

ute to environmental protection.

Always have maintenance work carried

out at a qualied specialist workshop.

Personal driving style:

Do not depress the accelerator pedal

when starting the engine.

Do not warm up the vehicle while sta-

tionary.

Drive carefully and maintain a suitable

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 o the vehicle in stationary traf-

c, e.g. by using the ECO start/stop

function.

Drive in a fuel-ecient manner. Observe

the ECO display for an economical driv-

ing style.

Plug-in hybrid

ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental

pollution caused by irresponsible disposal

of the high-voltage battery

A high-voltage battery contains materials

which are harmful to the environment.

Dispose of faulty high-voltage batteries

at a qualied specialist workshop.

Take-back of end-of-life vehicles

EU countries only:

Mercedes-Benz will take back your end-of-life

vehicle for environment-friendly disposal in

accordance with the European Union (EU) End-Of-

Life Vehicles Directive.

A network of vehicle take-back points and dis-

mantlers has been established for you to return

your vehicle. You can leave it at any of these

points free of charge. This makes an important

contribution to closing the recycling circle and

conserving resources.

You could jeopardise the operating safety of your

as accessories relevant to safety that have not

been approved by Mercedes-Benz. Safety-critical

systems (e.g. the brake system) may malfunction.

Use only Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts or parts of

sory parts that have been specically approved

Mercedes-Benz tests original parts and conver-

sion parts and accessory parts that have been

specically approved for your vehicle model for

their reliability, safety and suitability. Despite

ongoing market research, Mercedes-Benz is

unable to assess other parts. Mercedes-Benz

therefore accepts no responsibility for the use of

such parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if

they have been ocially approved or independ-

ently approved by a testing centre.

Certain parts are ocially approved for installa-

tion or modication only if they comply with legal

requirements. All Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts
