Protecting the environment

General notes

Environmental note
Daimler's declared policy is one of com-
prehensive environmental protection.
Our objectives are to use the natural
resources which form the basis of our exis-
tence on this planet sparingly and in a
manner which takes the requirements of
both nature and humanity into consider-
ation.
You too can help to protect the environ-
ment by operating your vehicle in an envi-
ronmentally-responsible manner.
Energy consumption and the rate of
engine, transmission, brake and tyre wear
depend on the following factors:
operating conditions of your vehicle
R
your personal driving style
R
You can influence both factors. Therefore,
please bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions:
observe the correct tyre pressure.
R
do not carry any unnecessary weight in
R
the vehicle
remove the roof rack once you no longer
R
need it.
a regularly serviced vehicle will con-
R
tribute to environmental protection. You
should therefore adhere to the service
intervals.
all maintenance work should be carried
R
out at a qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
drive carefully and maintain a safe dis-
R
tance from the vehicle in front.
avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
R
braking.
monitor the vehicle's energy consump-

Returning an end-of-life vehicle
EU countries only:
smart will take back your end-of-life vehicle
for environment-friendly disposal in
accordance with the European Union (EU)
End-Of-Life Vehicles Directive.
This makes an important contribution to
closing the recycling circle and conserving
resources. A network of vehicle take-back
points and dismantlers has been established
for you to return your vehicle. Returning
vehicles to these facilities is free of charge.
For further information about the recycling
and disposal of end-of-life vehicles, and the
take-back conditions, please visit the
national smart website for your country.
