ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental
damage due to operating conditions and
personal driving style
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:
Make sure that the tire pressures are
#
always correct.
Do not transport any unnecessary
#
weight (e.g. a roof rack which is no lon‐
ger required).
Observe the service intervals.
#
A regularly serviced vehicle will contrib‐
ute to environmental protection.
Always have maintenance 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 while sta‐
#
tionary.
Drive carefully and maintain a sufficient
#
distance to other vehicles.
Avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
#
braking.
Shift gears in good time and use each
#
gear only up to Ô of its maximum
engine speed.
Switch off the engine when in stationary
#
traffic for a prolonged time.
Drive in a fuel-efficient manner. Pay
#
attention to the ECO display for a fuel-
efficient driving style.
Environmental issues and recommendations
It is recommended to regenerate and recycle sub‐
stances instead of immediately disposing of
them.
The relevant environmental guidelines and regula‐
tions serve to protect the environment and
should be followed carefully.
