Protection of the environment
General notes
HEnvironmental 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 a manner 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.
Energy consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tire wear depend on
the following factors:
Roperating conditions of your vehicle
Ryour personal driving style
You can influence both factors. Therefore,
please bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions:
Robserve the correct tire pressure.
Ravoid carrying unnecessary weight.
Rremove the roof rack once you no longer
need it.
Ra regularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
Rall maintenance work should be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
Rdrive carefully and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front.
Ravoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
braking.
Rmonitor the vehicle's energy consumption.
HEnvironmental note
Have a defective high-voltage battery dis-
posed of in an environmentally-responsible
manner. Contact a qualified specialist work-
shop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
for this purpose.
Environmental concerns and recom-
mendations
Wherever the operating instructions require
you to dispose of materials, first try to regen-
erate or re-use them. Observe the relevant
environmental rules and regulations when
disposing of materials. In this way you will
help to protect the environment.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
HEnvironmental note
Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned major
assemblies and parts which are of the same
quality as new parts. They are covered by the
same Limited Warranty entitlements as new
parts.
!Air bags and Emergency Tensioning Devi-
ces, as well as control units and sensors for these restraint systems, may be installed in
the following areas of your vehicle:
Rdoors
Rdoor pillars
Rdoor sills
Rseats
Rcockpit
Rinstrument cluster
Rcenter console
Do not install accessories such as audio
systems in these areas. Do not carry out
repairs or welding. You could impair the
operating efficiency of the restraint sys-
tems.
Have aftermarket accessories installed at a
qualified specialist workshop.
20Introduction
Page 26 of 342
the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
checked by a qualified specialist workshop.
All of the vehicle's high-voltage electrical sys-
tem components are marked with yellow
warning stickers which warn you about high
voltages. The cables of the vehicle's high-
voltage electrical system are orange.
When towing a vehicle after an accident, be
sure to observe the following sections:
RTransporting the vehicle (Ypage 297)
RTowing the vehicle with the front axle raised
(
Ypage 297)
RTowing a vehicle with both axles on the
ground (
Ypage 296)
Read the important safety instructions on
towing away (
Ypage 294).
The ignition must be switched off when car-
rying out general tasks, such as changing
bulbs or checking the coolant level.
Automatic switching off of the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
If the restraint systems are activated during
an accident, the vehicle's high-voltage elec-
trical system is automatically deactivated.
This is to ensure that you do not come into
contact with high voltage.
Automatic protection from switching
on of the vehicle's high-voltage electri-
cal system
The vehicle's high-voltage electrical system is
not activated when the vehicle is started if:
Ra serious electrical insulation malfunction
is detected in the vehicle's high-voltage
electrical system.
Ran electrical connection in the vehicle's
high-voltage electrical system is discon-
nected.
Automatic switching off of the charging
process
The charging process is deactivated automat-
ically if:
Rthe high-voltage battery is fully charged
The charging process is interrupted automat-
ically if:
Ra serious electrical insulation malfunction
is detected in the vehicle's high-voltage
electrical system.
Ran electrical connection in the vehicle's
high-voltage electrical system is discon-
nected.
High-voltage switch-off device
!The high-voltage system must only be
switched off at vehicle standstill by spe-
cially trained service engineers. Otherwise
the high-voltage system may be damaged.
Your vehicle is equipped with a high-voltage
switch-off device :which can be used to
24Introduction
Page 27 of 342
switch off the vehicle's high-voltage electrical
system.
Mobile phone antenna
!It is not permitted to retrofit a mobile
phone antenna.
Trailer tow hitch
!Retrofitting a trailer tow hitch is not per-
missible.
Warning
Vehicles with an electric motor generate
much less driving noise than vehicles with
internal combustion engines. As a result, your
vehicle may not be heard by other road users
until it is very close to them, or it may not be
heard at all. This is particularly the case if
other road users have not yet seen your vehi-
cle but are instead relying on hearing. Drive
with particular care, allowing for the possibil-
ity that other road users may behave unpre-
dictably.
The vehicle is equipped with a sound gener-
ator. The sound generator is activated so that
other road users can hear your vehicle better.
The sound generator is activated at speeds of
under 20 mph (30 km/h) and switches off
automatically at higher speeds.
Declarations of conformity
Vehicle components which receive
and/or transmit radio waves
USA: "The wireless devices of this vehicle
comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Oper-
ation is subject to the following two condi-
tions: 1) These devices may not cause harm-
ful interference, and 2) These devices must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired oper-
ation. Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for com- pliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment."
Canada:
"The wireless devices of this vehicle
comply with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) These devices
may not cause interference, and (2) These
devices must accept any interference, includ-
ing interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device."
Diagnostics connection
The diagnostics connection is only intended
for the connection of diagnostic equipment at
a qualified specialist workshop.
GWARNING
If you connect equipment to the diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, it may affect the
operation of the vehicle systems. As a result,
the operating safety of the vehicle could be
