Protecting the environment
General notes
Environmental note
H
Daimler’s declared policy is one of comprehensive 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 environmentally responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tire wear are affected by these factors:
R
operating conditions of your vehicle
R
your personal driving style
You can influence both factors. You should
bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions:
R
avoid short trips as these increase fuel
consumption.
R
always make sure that the tire pressures
are correct.
R
do not carry any unnecessary weight.
R
remove roof racks once you no longer
need them.
R
a regularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
R
always have service 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 when the vehicle is stationary.
R
drive carefully and maintain a safe 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 Ô of its maximum engine
speed.
R
switch off the engine in stationary traffic.
R
keep an eye on the vehicle’s fuel consumption.
Environmental concerns and recommendations
Wherever the Operator’s Manual requires you
to dispose of materials, first try to regenerate
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
H
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-

these restraint systems, may be installed in
the following areas of your vehicle:
R

R
seats
R

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 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
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 specifically developed, manufactured or selected
Introduction
for and adapted to Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Therefore, only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
should be used.
More than 300,000 different genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts are available for
Mercedes-Benz models.
All authorized Mercedes-Benz Centers maintain a supply of genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
for necessary service and repair work. In addition, strategically located parts delivery centers provide quick and reliable parts service.
Always specify the vehicle identification number (VIN) when ordering genuine MercedesBenz parts (Y page 333).

to safety-relevant systems and functions.
The equipment in your vehicle may therefore
differ from that shown in the descriptions
and illustrations.
The original purchase agreement lists all systems installed in your vehicle.
Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, please consult an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
The Operator’s Manual and Maintenance
Booklet are important documents and should

Declarations of conformity
USA: «The wireless devices of this vehicle
comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the two following two conditions: 1) These devices may not cause harmful
interference, and 2) These devices must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly

operation of the device.»
Diagnostic connector
The diagnostics connection is only intended
for the connection of diagnostic equipment at
a qualified specialist workshop.
WARNING
G
If you connect equipment to a diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, it may affect the
operation of vehicle systems. As a result,
the operating safety of the vehicle could be
affected. There is a risk of an accident.
Only connect equipment to a diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, which is approved
for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.
WARNING
G
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.
If the engine is switched off and equip-
!
ment on the diagnostics connection is used,
the starter battery may discharge.
Connecting equipment to the diagnostics connection can lead to emissions monitoring
information being reset, for example. This may
lead to the vehicle failing to meet the requirements of the next emissions test during the
main inspection.
Qualified specialist workshop
An authorized Mercedes-Benz Center is a
qualified specialist workshop. It has the necessary specialist knowledge, tools and qualifications to correctly carry out the work required
on your vehicle. This is especially the case for
work relevant to safety.
Observe the notes in the Maintenance Booklet.
Always have the following work carried out at
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center:
R
work relevant to safety
R
service and maintenance work
R
repair work
R
alterations, installation work and modifications
R
work on electronic components
