Protection of the environment

Environmental note
DaimlerChrysler's declared policy is one of
integrated environmental protection. This
policy starts at the root causes and encom-
passes in its management decisions all the
consequences for the environment which
could arise from production processes or
the products themselves.
The objectives are for the natural resources
which form the basis of our existence on this
planet to be used sparingly and in a manner
which takes the requirements of both nature
and humanity into account.
Operate the engine in an environmentally re-
sponsible manner and you will help to pro-
tect the environment.
