Protection of the environment
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 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 2
/ 3 of its maximum engine
speed.
R switch off the engine in stationary traffic. Returning used vehicles
Mercedes-Benz will take back your
Mercedes-Benz to dispose of it in an environ-
mentally-responsible manner, in accordance
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 re-use.
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. Operating safety
Safety notes
G
Risk of accident and injury
Always have work on the vehicle carried out
by a qualified specialist workshop. In particu-
lar, work relevant to safety or on safety-rela-
ted systems as well as maintenance work
must be carried out at aqualified specialist
workshop. The workshop must have the nec-
essary specialist knowledge and tools to carry
out the work required. Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre for this purpose. 18

conventional road maps. Optimal route guid-
ance can only be provided by the navigation
system in conjunction with the most up-to-
date map software.
Information about new map software ver-
sions can be obtained from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
You can have your map software updated
there with a DVD, or you can update it your-
self.
Notes on handling DVDs R
Only hold discs by the edge.
R Handle discs carefully to prevent read
errors.
R Avoid getting scratches, fingerprints and
dust on discs.
R Use a commercially available cleaning cloth
to clean discs. Do not wipe them with a cir-
cular motion, bu tonly in straight lines from
the centre outwards.
R Place discs back in thei rcases after use.
R Protect discs from heat and direct sunlight.
Updating process The process consists of th
efollowing steps:
R insert the DVD into the single DVD drive or
the DVD changer*.
R then, the updating process begins.
i The update process can take between
60 and 150 minutes, depending on the size
of the map software. All functions which do
not require access to the single DVD drive,
the DVD changer* or the COMAND hard
drive are still operational.
If possible, carry out the update when the
vehicle is stationary. This way you require
less time for the update process, as the
DVD read speed is faster when the vehicle
is stationary.
If you perform the update when the engine
is switched off and the starter battery does
not have enough charge, COMAND may
switch off automatically during the process in order to preserve the battery. If this
occurs, restart the update with the engine
running. G
Risk of poisoning
Never run the engine in an enclosed space.
The exhaust fumes contain poisonous carbon
monoxide. Inhaling exhaust fumes is hazard-
ous to your health and can lead to loss of con-
sciousness and death.
i You can interrupt the update process and
recommence later. If you interrupt the
update process, the navigation system will
not be operational.
