Introduction; Protection Of The Environment - Mercedes-Benz G-Class G461 Owner's Manual

Protection of the environment

H
Environmental note
DaimlerChrysler's declared policy is one of
comprehensive environmental protection.
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.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your Mercedes-Benz in an envi-
ronmentally responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tyre wear depend
on the following two factors:
Your vehicle's operating conditions
Your personal driving style
You can influence both factors.
You should, therefore, observe the
following:
Operating conditions:
Avoid short trips as these increase fuel
consumption.
Make sure that the tyre pressures are al-
ways correct.
Do not carry any unnecessary weight.
Keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel con-
sumption.
Remove roof racks once you no longer
need them.
A regularly serviced vehicle contributes
to environmental protection. Therefore,
adhere to the service intervals.
Always have maintenance work carried
out at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
