Protection of the environment
Notes
H
Environmental note
Daimler's declared policy is one of integrated
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 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 conditions of your vehicle
R your personal driving style
You can influence both factors. You should
bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions
R avoid short trips as these increase fuel con-
sumption.
R make sure that the tyre pressures are
always correct.
R do not carry any unnecessary weight.
R keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel consump-
tion.
R remove roof racks once you no longer need
them.
R a regularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
R always have maintenance work carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Personal driving style
R do not depress the accelerator pedal when
starting the engine.
R do not warm up the engine with the vehicle
stationary. R
drive carefully and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front.
R avoid frequent, sudden acceleration.
R change gear in good time and use each gear
only up to ⅔ofits maximum engine speed.
R switch off the engine in stationary traffic. Returning use
dvehicles
Mercedes-Ben zwill take back your
Mercedes-Ben zto dispose of it in an environ-
mentally responsible manner ,inaccordance
with the European Union (EU) End of Life
Vehicles Directive.
The End of Life Vehicles Directive applies to
vehicles of up to 3.5 tgross vehicle weight, in
accordance with national regulations. For
several years, Mercedes-Benz has been
meeting all the legal requirements for a
design which allows for recycling and reuse.
There is a network of return points and dis-
assembly plants which can recycle yourv ehi-
cle in an environmentally-responsible man-
ner. The options for recycling vehicles and
parts are constantly being developed and
improved. This means that your Mercedes-
Benz will also continue to meet even the
increased recycling quotas in the future in
good time. You can obtain further information
from your national Mercedes-Benzh omepage
or your national hotline number. Vehicle equipment
This manual describes all the standard and
optional equipment of your vehicle available
at the time of publication of the Owner's Man-
ual. Country-specific differences are possi-
ble. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not
feature all functions described here. This also
refers to safety-related systems and func-
tions. The equipment in your vehicle may
therefore differ from that shown in the
descriptions and illustrations. All the systems
found in your vehicle are listed in the original Introduction

Children in the vehicle
Important safety notes
G
Risk of injury
Do no tleave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system. They could injure them-
selves on parts of the vehicle. They could also
be seriously or even fatally injured by pro-
longed exposure to extreme heat or cold.
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. Parts of the child restraint sys-
tem could heat up and the child could burn
herself/himself on them.
If a child opens a door, the child or other per-
sons could be injured as a result. They could
get out and injure themselves or be injured by
a passing vehicle.
Also observe the notes on HOLD .Relevant
information can be found in the index. G
Risk of injury
Unsecured or incorrectly positioned loads
increase the risk of injury for children and all
other occupants in the event of:
R an accident
R a braking manoeuvre
R a sudden change of direction
Do not carry heavy or hard objects in the vehi-
cle interior unless they are secured. You will
find further information under "Loading guide-
lines" in the index.
If a child is travelling in your vehicle, secure
the child using a child restraint system which
is appropriate to the size, age and weight of
the child and recommended for Mercedes-
Benz vehicles. You should fit the restraint sys-
tem to a suitable rear seat. Make sure that
the child is secured in achild restraint system
throughout the trip.
You can obtain information about the correct
child restraint system from any Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre. i
It is advisable to use Mercedes-Ben zcare
products to clean child restraint systems.
You can obtain informatio nabout this from
any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Child restraint systems
Important safety notes Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
use the child restraint systems listed at
(Y
page 54). G
Risk of injury
To reduce the risk of serious or even fatal
injury to the child in the event of a sudden
change in direction, braking or an accident:
R Children less than 1.5 0mtall and under
twelve years of age must always be secured
in special child restraint systems on a suit-
able vehicle seat .This is necessary
because the seat belts are not designed for
children.
R Do not secure children less than 1.50 mtall
or under twelve years of age on the front-
passenger seat .Exception: the child is
secured in a vehicle with automatic child
sea trecognition on the front-passenger
seat and is secured in achild restraint sys-
tem with automatic child seat recognition.
R If you secure a forward-facing child
restraint system to the front-passenger
seat, you must move the front-passenger
seat as far back as possible.
R Children must never travel sitting on the lap
of another occupant. Due to the forces
which occur in the event of a sudden
change of direction, heavy braking or an
accident, it would not be possible to
restrain the child. The child could be thrown
against parts of the vehicle interior and be
seriously or even fatally injured. G
Risk of injury
The child restraint system cannot perform its
protective function if it is not correctly fitted 46

Vehicle equipment
i This manual describes all the standard
and optional equipment of your vehicle
available at the time of publicatio nofthe
Owner's Manual. Country-specific differen-
ces are possible. Please note that your
vehicle may not be equipped with all fea-
tures described. This also applies to safety-
relevant systems and functions. Loading guidelines
G
Risk of injury
Secure and position the load as described in
the loading guidelines.
Otherwise, vehicle occupants could
be injured by the load being thrown around in
the event of sharp braking, a sudden change
in direction or an accident.
You will find further information in the "Secur-
ing a load" section.
Even if you follow all the loading guidelines,
the load will increase the risk of injury in the
event of an accident. G
Risk of poisoning
Keep the boot lid closed while the vehicle is
in operation. Otherwise, you could be pois-
oned by exhaust fumes entering the vehicle.
The handling characteristics of a laden vehi-
cle are dependent on the distribution of the
load within the vehicle. For this reason, you
should observe the following notes when
transporting a load:
R when transporting a load, never exceed the
maximum permissible gross vehicle weight
or the permissible axle loads for the vehicle
(including occupants).
R position heavy loads as far forwards as pos-
sible and as low down in the boot as pos-
sible.
R the load must not protrude above the upper
edge of the seat backrests. R
always place the load against the rear or
front seat backrests. Make sure that the
seat backrests are securely locked into
place.
R always place the load behind unoccupied
seats if possible.
R secure the load with sufficiently strong and
wear-resistant lashing material. Pad sharp
edges for protection.
i Load restraints are available at any quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre. Stowage areas
Stowage compartments
Important safety notes G
Risk of injury
The stowage compartments must be closed
when items are stored in them. Luggage nets
are not designed to secure heavy items of
luggage.
You or other vehicle occupants could be
injured by objects being thrown around if you:
R brake sharply
R change direction suddenly
R are involved in an accident
Sharp-edged and fragile objects must not be
placed in the luggage net.
Do not place hard objects in the map pockets.
Objects must not protrude from the map
pockets.

Important safety notes
Observe the legal requirement sfor the rele-
vant countries when towing and tow-starting. G
Risk of accident
If you tow the vehicle, you must use a rigid
towing bar if:
R the engine is not running.
R there is a brake system malfunction.
R there is a malfunction in the power supply
or the vehicle's electrical system. The power steering and the brake force boos-
ter do not work when the engine is not run-
ning. You will then need considerably more
force to steer and to brake and the brake
pedal travel will be longer. If necessary,
depress the brake pedal with maximum force.
Before towing away, make sure that the steer-
ing can be moved and is not locked.
If you tow or tow-start another vehicle, its
weight must not exceed the maximum per-
missible gross vehicle weight of your vehicle. Towing and tow-starting
