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.

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.

Driving tipsDriving and parking

To avoid hazardous situations:
R make sure to check the noseweight before
each journey
R use adrawbar noseweight as close as pos-
sible to the maximum noseweight
R do not exceed the maximum permissible
noseweight
R do not use anoseweight lower than the
minimum noseweight
When reversin gthe vehicle towards the
trailer, make sure there is nobody between
the trailer and the vehicle.
Couple and uncouple the trailer carefully. If
you do not couple the trailer to the towing
vehicle correctly, the trailer could become
detached.
Make sure that the following values are not
exceeded:
R the permissible trailer drawbar noseweight
R the permissible trailer load
R the permissible rear axle load of the towing
vehicle
R the maximum permissible gross vehicle
weight of both the towing vehicle and the
trailer
You will find the applicable permissible val-
ues, which must not be exceeded, in the vehi-
cle documents.
You will find the values approved by the man- ufacturer on the vehicle identification plates
and those for the towing vehicle under "Tech-
nical data" (Y page 484).
When towing atrailer, your vehicle's handling
characteristics will be different in comparison to when driving without atrailer.
The vehicle/trailer combination:
R is heavier
R is restricted in its acceleration and gradi-
ent-climbin gcapability
R has an increased braking distance
R is affected more by stron gcrosswinds
R demands more sensitive steering
R has alarger turnin gcircle This can impair the vehicle's handling char-
acteristics. Adapt your driving style accord-
ingly. Maintain
asafe distance. Drive care-
fully.
When towing atrailer, alway sadjust your
speed to the curren troad and weather con-
ditions. Do not exceed the maximum permis- sible speed for your vehicle/trailer combina-
tion. Notes on towing

can be obtained at any qualified specialist
workshop. Operation
Information on driving
Check the tyre pressures when the vehicle is
heavily laden and adjust prior to atrip.
While driving, pay attention to vibrations,
noises and unusual handling characteristics,
e.g. pulling to one side. This may indicat ethat
the wheels or tyres are damaged. If you sus-
pect that atyre is defective, reduce your
speed immediately. Stop the vehicle as soon
as possible to chec kthe wheels and tyres for
damage. Hidden tyre damage could also be 416

WARNING
Tyres with insufficien torexcessiv etyre pres-
sure harbour the following hazards:
R the tyres may burst, especially as the load
and vehicle speed increase.
R the tyres may wear excessively or unevenly
which can severely impair tyre traction.
R the handling as well as steerin gand braking
characteristics may be severely affected.
There is arisk of an accident.
Observe the recommended tyre pressures
and check the tyre pressure of all the tyres
including the spare wheel:
R every day before starting ajourney
R when the load changes
R prior to long journey
R for changed operating conditions, e.g. off-
road driving
If necessary, correc tthe tyre pressure. G
WARNING
If you fit unsuitable accessories ontot yre
valves, the tyre valves may be overloaded and malfunction, which can cause tyre pressure
loss. Due to their design, retrofitted tyre pres-
sure monitors keep the tyre valve open. This
can also result in tyre pressure loss. There is a risk of accident.
Only screw standard valve caps or valve caps
specifically provided by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle ontot he tyre valve. G
WARNING
If the tyre pressure drops repeatedly, the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged. Tyre
pressure that is too low may result in atyre
blow-out. There is arisk of accident.
R Check the tyre for foreign objects.
R Check whether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking.
If you are unable to rectify the damage, con-
tact aqualified specialist workshop. H
Environmenta
lnote
Check the tyre pressure regularly, at least
every 14 days.
You will find atable of tyre pressures for var-
ious operating conditions on the tyre pres-
sure label on the inside of your vehicle's fuel
filler flap (Y page 202).
Operation with an emergency spare
wheel: information on operation with an
emergenc yspare wheel can be found in the
general notes in the "Emergency spare wheel" section (Y page 465).
Operation with atrailer: the applicable
value for the rear tyres is the maximum tyre
pressure value stated in the table inside the
fuel filler flap.
The table of tyre pressures may also state tyre
pressures for different load conditions. These are defined in the table as different numbers
of passengers and amounts of luggage. The
actual number of seats may vary; for more
information, please refer to the vehicle's reg- istration documents.
If tyre sizes are not specified, the tyre pres-
sures stated on the tyre pressure information
label apply for all tyres approved for this vehi- cle. 420
Tyrep
ressureWheels and tyres

If
at yre size precedes atyre pressure, the
following tyre pressure information is only
validf or that tyre size.
Use asuitable pressure gauge to check the
tyre pressure. The outer appearance of atyre
does not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre pressure. On vehicle sfitted with the
electronic tyre pressure monitor, the tyre
pressure can be checked using the on-board
computer.
If possible, only correct tyre pressures when
the tyres are cold.
The tyres are cold:
R if the vehicle has been parked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least three
hours and
R if the vehicle has not been driven further
than 1.6 km
Depending on the ambient temperature ,the
vehicle speed and the loadont he tyres, the
tyre temperature and thus the tyre pressure
changes by approximately 10 kPa (0. 1bar/
1.5 psi )per 10 †. Take this into account
when checking the pressure of warm tyres.
Only correct the tyre pressure if it is too low
for the current operating conditions.
Driving with tyre pressure that is too high or
too low can:
R shorten the service life of the tyres
R cause increased tyre damage
R have anegative effect on handling charac-
teristics and thus driving safety (e.g. aqua-
planing) The tyre pressure values given for low loads
are minimum values which offer you good ride
comfort characteristics.
However, you can also use the values given
for higherl oads. These are permissible and
willn ot adversely affect the running of the
vehicle.
Speeds up to 210 km/h: despite the values
stated on the tyre pressure information label (fuel filler flap), for speedsupt o210 km/h
and with R16 tyres, the values stated can be
reduced as follows, withou tareduction in
safety:
R Saloon: Ò30 kPa (Ò0.3 bar/Ò4p si)
R Estate: Ò20 kPa (Ò0.2 bar/Ò3p si)
This does not apply to vehicle stowing a
trailer.
This improves the ride comfort of yourv ehi-
cle; however, fuel consumption may increase slightly. Tyre pressure lossw
arning system
General notes Whilet
he vehicle is in motion, the tyre pres-
sure loss warning system monitors the set
