General notes
H Environmental note
Daimler's declared policy is one of compre-
hensive environmental protection.

planet to be used sparingly and in am anner
that 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 tire wear are affected
by these factors: R
operating condition sofy our vehicleR
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
always make sure that the tire pressures
are correct. R
do not carry any unnecessary weight. R
remove roof racks once you no longer need
them. R
ar egularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals. R
always have service work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style: R
do not depress the accelerator pedal when
startin gt he engine.R
do not warm up the engine when the vehicle
is stationary. R
drive carefully and maintain as afe distance
from the vehicle in front. R
avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
braking. R
