Environmental protection

+
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental
damage due to operating conditions and
personal driving style
The pollutant emission of the vehicle is
directly related to the vehicle's operation.
Operate the vehicle in an environmentally
responsible manner to make a contribution to
environmental protection. To do this, observe
the following recommendations on operating
conditions and your personal driving style.
Operating conditions:
Make sure that the tyre 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 in stationary traf‐
#
fic, e.g. use the ECO start/stop func‐
tion.
Drive in a fuel-efficient manner. Pay
#
attention to the ECO display for a fuel-
efficient driving style.

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
conditions, please visit the national Mercedes-
Benz website for your country.
