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. H
Environmental note
Have defective high-voltage batteries dis-
posed of in an environmentally responsible
manner. Consult aqualified specialist work-
shop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use aMercedes-Benz Service Centre for
this purpose. Returning an end-of-life vehicle
EU countries only:
Mercedes-Benz will take back your old vehicle to
dispose of it in an environmentally-responsible
manner in accordance with the European Union (EU) End of Life Vehicles Directive.
There is anetwork of return points and disas-
sembly 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

ranty appliesasf or new parts.

Introduction to the restraint system
The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi-
cle occupants coming into contact with parts of
the vehicle's interior in the event of an accident. Furthermore, the restraint system can also
reduce the forces to which vehicle occupants
are subjected during an accident.
The restraint system includes:
R Seat belt system
R Airbags
R Child restraint system
R Child seat securing system The various components of the restraint system
work complementary to one another. They can
only perform their intended protective function
if all vehicle occupants:
R have correctly fastened their seat belt
(Y page 42)
R have correctly adjusted their seat and head
restraint (Y page 102).
As the driver, you must also ensure that the
steering wheel is correctly adjusted. Observe
the information relating to the correct driver's
seat position (Y page 102).
Additionally, you must ensure that an airbag can
deploy freely (Y page 44).
The airbag is supplementary to acorrectly fas-
tened seat belt. As an additional safety device,
the airbag increases the level of protection for
vehicle occupants in the event of an accident. If
the protection provided by the seat belt is suf-
ficient, the airbags do not deploy. Furthermore, in the event of an accident, only airbags which
provide greater protection in the given accident
situation deploy. However, seat belts and air-
bags generally do not protect against objects
penetrating the vehicle from the outside.
Information on how the restraint system oper-
ates can be found in "Deployment of the seat
belt tensioner and airbags" (Y page 52).
See "Children in the vehicle" for information on
infantsa nd children traveling with you in the
vehicle restraint systems for infantsa nd chil-
dren(Y page 55). Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If the restraint system is modified, it may no
longer work as intended. The restraint system
may then not perform its intended protective function by failing in an accident or triggering
unexpectedly, for example. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Never modify parts of the restraint system. Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
If modification of an airbag system is necessary to accommodate aperson with disabilities, con-
tact aqualified specialist workshop for details. Occupant safety
39Safety Z

Mercedes-Ben
zrecommends that you use a
Mercedes-Ben zService Centre for this. Restraint system warning lamp
The restraint systems functions are checked
after the ignition is switched on and at regular
intervals when the engine is running. This allows
malfunctions to be quickly identified.
The 6 restraint system warning lamp in the
instrumentc luster lights up when the ignition is
switched on. It goes out no later than afew sec-
onds after the vehicle is started. The compo-
nentsoft he restraint system are in operational
readiness.
Am alfunction has occurred if the 6restraint
system warning lamp:
R does not light up after the ignition is switched
on
R does not switch off after afew seconds when
the engine is running
R lights up again when the engine is running G
WARNING
If the restraint system is malfunctioning,
restraint system components may be trig-
gered unintentionally or might not be trig-
gered at all in the event of an accident with a high rate of vehicle deceleration. This can
effect belt tensionersora irbags, for example.
There is an increased risk of serious or even
fatal injuries.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired immediately at aqualified specialist
workshop. PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamp PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
:and
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp ;are
part of the automatic deactivation system of the front-passenger front airbag.
The indicator lamps display the status of the
front-passenger front airbag.
R PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up: the front-
passenger front airbag is enabled. If, in the
event of an accident, all deployment criteria
are met, the front-passenger front airbag is
deployed.
R PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the front-
passenger front airbag is disabled. It will then
not be deployed in the event of an accident.
Depending on the person in the front-passenger seat, the front-passenger front airbag must
either be disabledore nabled; see the following
points. You must make sure of this both before
and during ajourney.
R Children in arearward-facing child
restraint system: the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF indicator lamp must be lit. The front-
passenger front airbag is disabled. It is imper-
ative to observe the notes on the "Automatic front-passenger front airbag deactivation sys-
tem" (Y page 47) and on "Children in the
vehicle" (Y page 55).
R Children in aforward-facing child
restraint system: depending on the installed
child restraint system and the age and size of the child, the front-passenger front airbag is
either disabledore nabled. Therefore, it is
imperative to observe the notes on the "Auto-
matic front-passenger front airbag deactiva-
tion system" (Y page 47) and on "Children in
the vehicle" (Y page 55).
R All other persons: the PASSENGER AIR BAG
ON indicator lamp must be lit. The front-
passenger front airbag is enabled. Depending on the build of the person on the front-
passenger seat, the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF indicator lamp may light up. The front-
passenger front airbag is disabled. It will then
not be deployed in the event of an accident. In
this case, the front-passenger seat should not be used.
It is imperative to observe the notes on the
"Automatic front-passenger front airbag
deactivation system" (Y page 47) as well as
on "Seat belts" (Y page 41) and "Airbags"
(Y page 44). There you can also find infor-
mation on the correct seat position. 40
