Protection of the environment
General notes
H
Environmental note
Daimler's declared policy is one of compre-
hensive environmental protection.
Our objectives are to use the natural resour-
ces which form the basis of our existence on
this planet sparingly and in amanner which
takes the requirements of both nature and
humanity into consideration.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your vehicle in an environmen-
tally-responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tyre wear depend on
the following factors:
R operating condition sofyour vehicle
R your personal driving style
You can influence both factors. Therefore,
please bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions:
R avoid short trips, as these increase fuel
consumption.
R observe the correct tyre pressure.
R do not carry any unnecessary weight in the
vehicle.
R remove the roof rack once you no longer
need it.
R ar egularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
R all maintenance work should be carried out
at aq ualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
R do not depress the accelerator pedal when
startingt he engine.
R do not warm up the engine when the vehicle
is stationary.
R drive carefully and maintain asafe distance
from the vehicle in front.
R avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
braking. R
change gear in good time and use each gear
only up to Ôof its maximum engine speed.
R switch off the engine in stationary traffic.
R monitor the vehicle's fuel consumption. Returning an end-of-life vehicle
EU countries only:
Mercedes-Benz will take back your old vehicle to dispose of it in an environmentally-respon-sible manner in accordance with the Euro-
pean Union (EU) End of Life Vehicles Direc-
tive.
There is anetwork of return points and dis-
assembly plants available. You can return
your vehicle to these plants free of charge.
This makes avaluable contribution to the
recycling process and the conservation of
resources.
For further information on recycling old vehi- cles, recovery and the terms of the policy,
visit the Mercedes-Benz homepage. Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts

Environmental note
Daimler AG also suppliesr econditioned
assemblies and parts which are of the same
quality as new parts. For these, the same war-
ranty appliesasf or new parts.

geffect. You will require considerably
more effor ttosteer and brake. There is arisk
of an accident.
Do not switch off the ignition while driving. ECO display
The ECO display provides feedback on how
economical your driving characteristic sare.
The ECO display assists you in achievin gthe
most economical driving style for the selec-
ted settings and prevailing conditions. Con-
sumption can be significantly influenced by
your driving style.
The ECO display consists of three bars:
R Acceleration
Acceleration
R Constant Constant
R Coasting
Coasting
The percentage count is the mean value of the three bar values. The three bars and the mean
value begin at the value of 50%. Ahigher per-
centage count indicates amore economical
driving style.
The ECO display does not indicat ethe actual
fuel consumption .Afixed percentage count
in the ECO display does not indicat eafixed
consumption.
In addition to driving style, the consumption is
affected by many other factors, such as:
R load
R tyre pressure
R cold start
R choic eofroute
R the use of electrical consumers
These factors are not included in the ECO dis-
play. The evaluation of your driving style take
sthe
following three categories int oconsideration:
R Acceleration Acceleration (evaluation of all accelera-
tion processes):
- the bar fills up: moderat eacceleration,
especially at higher speeds
- the bar empties: sport yacceleration
R Constant
Constant (assessmen tofdriving behav-
iour at all times):
- the bar fills up: constan tspeed and
avoidance of unnecessary acceleration
and deceleration
- the bar empties: fluctuations in speed
R Coasting Coasting (assessmen tofall deceleration
processes):
- the bar fills up: anticipatory driving ,keep-
ing your distanc eand early release of the
accelerator. The vehicle can coast with-
out use of the brakes.
- the bar empties: frequent braking
i An economical driving style involves driv-
ing at amoderat eengin espeed.
To achieve ahigher value in the categories
Acceleration
Acceleration andConstant
Constant:
R observe the gearshift recommendation
R drive the vehicle in drive program E(vehi-
cles with automatic transmission)
i On long journeys at
aconstan tspeed, e.g.
on the motorway, only the bar for Constant
Constant
will change.
i The ECO display summarises the driving
characteristic sfrom the start of the journey
to its completion. Therefore, ther eare
dynamic changes in the bars at the start of aj ourney. Durin gaprolonge ddriving time,
these changes are smaller. For more
dynamic changes, perfor mamanual reset.

X To adjust the set speed in 1km/h incre-
ments: briefly press the cruise control
lever up :to the pressure point for a
higher speed or down ;for alower speed.
or
X Keep the cruise control lever pressed to the
pressure point until the desired speed is
set. Press the cruise control lever up :for
ah igher speed or down ;for alower
speed.
Switching SPEEDTRONIC to passive
If you depress the accelerator pedal beyond
the pressure point (kickdown), SPEED-
TRONIC is switched to passive mode. The fol-
lowing message appears in the multifunction
display: SPEEDTRONIC passive SPEEDTRONIC passive.
You can then exceed the stored speed.
SPEEDTRONIC is activated againify ou:
R drive slower than the stored speed without
kickdown
R set anew speed or
R call up the last speed stored again
The SPEEDTRONIC passive
SPEEDTRONIC passive message in the
multifunction displayd isappears.
Deactivating variable SPEEDTRONIC
It is not possible to deactivate variable
SPEEDTRONIC by braking. There are several waystod
eactivate variable
SPEEDTRONIC:
X Briefly press the cruise control lever for-
wards :.
or X Briefly press the cruise control lever in the
direction of arrow =.
LIM indicator lamp ;in the cruise control
lever goes out. Variable SPEEDTRONIC is
deactivated.
Cruise control or DISTRONIC PLUS is selec-
ted.
i The last speed stored is cleared when you
switch off the engine.
Permanent SPEEDTRONIC You can use the on-board computer to limit
the speed permanently to
avalue between
160 km/h(e.g. for driving on winter tyres) and the maximum speed (Y page 292).
Shortly before the stored speed is reached, it appears in the multifunction display.
Permanent SPEEDTRONIC remains active,
even if variableS PEEDTRONIC is deactivated.
You cannot exceed the stored limit speed,
even if you depress the accelerator pedal
beyond the pressure point (kickdown). DISTRONIC PLUS
General notes DISTRONIC PLUS regulates the speed and
automaticallyh
elps you maintain the dis-
tance to the vehicle detected in front.V ehi-
cles are detected with the aid of the radar
sensor system. DISTRONIC PLUS brakes
automaticallysot hat the set speed is not
exceeded.
Change into alower gear in good time on long
and steep downhill gradients. Take particular note of this when driving aladen vehicle. By
doing so, you will make use of the braking
effect of the engine. This relieves the load on Driving systems
217Driving and parking Z

Parking tips:
R on narrow roads, drive as closely as possi-
ble past the parking space.
R parking spaces that are littered or over-
grown might be identified or measured
incorrectly.
R parking spaces that are partially occupied
by trailer drawbars might not be identified
as such or be measured incorrectly.
R snowfall or heavy rain may lead to aparking
space being measured inaccurately.
R pay attention to the PARKTRONIC
(Y page 237) warning messages during the
parking procedure.
R you can intervene in the steerin gprocedure
to correc titatany time. Active Parking
Assist will then be cancelled.
R when transportin gaload which protrudes
from your vehicle, you should not use
Active Parking Assist.
R never use Active Parking Assist when snow
chains are fitted.
R make sure that the tyre pressures are
alway scorrect. This has adirect influence
on the parking characteristics of the vehi-
cle.
Use Active Parking Assist for parking spaces
that are:
R parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel
R on straight roads, not bends
R on the same level as the road, e.g. not on
the pavement
Detecting parking spaces Objects located above the height range of
Active Parking Assist will not be detected
when the parking space is measured. These
are not taken into account when the parking
procedure is calculated, e.g. overhanging
loads, tail sections or loading ramps of goods
vehicles. G
WARNING
If there are object sabove the detection range:
R Active Park Assist may steer too early
R the vehicle may not stop in fron tofthese
objects.
This could cause acollision. There is arisk of
an accident.
If object sare located above the detection
range, stop and switch off Active Parking
Assist.
For further information on the detection
range (Y page 236).
Active Parking Assist does not assist you
parking in spaces at right angles to the direc-
tion of travel if:
R two parking spaces are located directly
next to one another
R the parking space is directly next to alow
obstacle such as alow kerb
R you forward park
Active Parking Assist does not assist you
parking in spaces that are parallel or at right
angles to the direction of travel if:
R the parking space is on akerb
R the system reads the parking space as
being blocked, for example by foliage or
grass paving blocks
R the area is too small for the vehicle to
manoeuvre into
R the parking space is bordered by an obsta-
cle, e.g. atree, apost or atrailer Example: detected parking space
:
Detected parking space on the left
