lowing recommendations on operating condi‐

ute to environmental protection.

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.
For further information about the recycling and
disposal of end-of-life vehicles, and the take-back
