Protection of the environment

General notes

H

Environmental note

Daimler's declared policy is one of compre-

hensive environmental protection.

Our objectives are to use the natural resour-

ces which form the basis of our existence on

this planet sparingly and in a manner which

takes the requirements of both nature and

humanity into consideration.

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 tyre wear depend on

the following factors:

R

operating conditions of your vehicle

R

your personal driving style

You can influence both factors. Therefore,

please bear the following in mind:

Operating conditions:

R

avoid short trips, as these increase fuel

consumption.

R

observe the correct tyre pressure.

R

do not carry any unnecessary weight in the

vehicle.

R

remove the roof rack once you no longer

need it.

R

a regularly serviced vehicle will contribute

to environmental protection. You should

therefore adhere to the service intervals.

R

all maintenance work should be 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

monitor the vehicle's fuel consumption.

Returning an end-of-life vehicle

EU countries only:

Mercedes-Benz will take back your old vehicle

to dispose of it in an environmentally-respon-

sible manner in accordance with the Euro-

pean Union (EU) End of Life Vehicles Direc-

tive.

There is a network of return points and dis-

assembly plants available. You can return

your vehicle to these plants free of charge.

This makes a valuable contribution to the

recycling process and the conservation of

resources.

For further information on recycling old vehi-

cles, recovery and the terms of the policy,

visit the Mercedes-Benz homepage.
