Introduction


Protection of the environment General notes H Environmental note Daimler's declared policy is one of compre- hensive 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: Roperating conditions of your vehicle Ryour personal driving style You can influence both factors. You should bear the following in mind: Operating conditions: Ravoid short trips as these increase fuel con-


sumption.


Rmake sure that the tyre pressures are


always correct.


Rdo not carry any unnecessary weight. Rkeep an eye on the vehicle's fuel consump-


tion.


Rremove roof racks once you no longer need


them.


Ra regularly serviced vehicle will contribute


to environmental protection. You should therefore adhere to the service intervals. Ralways have service work carried out at a


qualified specialist workshop.


Personal driving style: Rdo not depress the accelerator pedal when


starting the engine.


Rdo not warm up the engine with the vehicle


stationary.


Rdrive carefully and maintain a safe distance


from the vehicle in front.


Ravoid frequent, sudden acceleration. Rchange gear in good time and use each gear only up to Ô of its maximum engine speed. Rswitch off the engine in stationary traffic.


Returning an end-of-life vehicle 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 with a gross vehicle weight of up to 3.5 t, 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 your vehi- cle in an environmentally-responsible man- ner. The methods employed in vehicle and parts recycling are constantly being devel- oped 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- Benz homepage or your national hotline num- ber.


Owner's Manual General notes Before you first drive off, read this Owner's Manual carefully and familiarise yourself with your vehicle. For your own safety and a longer vehicle life, follow the instructions and warning notices in this manual. Disregarding them may lead to damage to the vehicle or personal injury.


Introduction


21


Vehicle equipment This Owner's Manual describes all models and all standard and optional equipment of your vehicle available at the time of publica- tion of the Owner's Manual. Country-specific differences are possible. Note that your vehi- cle may not be fitted with all features descri- bed. This is also the case for systems and functions relevant to safety. Therefore, the equipment on your vehicle may differ from that in the descriptions and illustrations. The original purchase contract documenta- tion for your vehicle contains a list of all of the systems in your vehicle. Should you have any questions concerning equipment and operation, please consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. The Owner's Manual and the Service Booklet are important documents and should be kept in the vehicle.


Operating safety Important safety notes G WARNING All work on the vehicle and, in particular, work relevant to safety or on safety-related sys- tems must be carried out at a qualified spe- cialist workshop. The specialist workshop must have the necessary specialist knowl- edge and tools to carry out the work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur- pose. G WARNING Some safety systems only function when the engine is running. You should therefore never switch off the engine when driving. Otherwise, the safety systems of your vehicle may not function correctly and as a result will no lon- ger protect you and other persons as inten- ded. In addition, there is a risk that you may lose control of your vehicle and thus cause an accident.


G WARNING Work carried out incorrectly, or alterations made to the vehicle, e.g. re-routing of cables under coverings, could cause the safety sys- tems of your vehicle to stop working properly. The safety systems would thus no longer pro- tect you and other persons as intended. In addition, there is a risk that you may lose con- trol of your vehicle and thus cause an acci- dent. All work and alterations to the vehicle, e.g. installations or modifications, should there- fore be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. G WARNING If work on electronic equipment and its soft- ware is carried out incorrectly, this equipment could stop working. The electronic systems are networked via interfaces. Tampering with these electronic systems could cause mal- functions in systems which have not been modified. Malfunctions such as these can seriously jeopardise the vehicle's operating safety and therefore your own safety. You should therefore have all work and mod- ifications to electronic components carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. G WARNING If you drive over obstacles at high speed or if the vehicle bottoms out in rough terrain, it could cause heavy impacts to the vehicle underbody, tyres or wheels. This could cause your vehicle to be damaged, which in turn might lead to an accident. This also applies to vehicles which are equipped with underbody protection. You should therefore drive over obstacles slowly. Prevent the vehicle from bottoming out when driving off-road and if necessary, have your vehicle inspected at a qualified spe- cialist workshop.

Introduction


Declarations of conformity Wireless vehicle components The following information applies to all com- ponents of the vehicle and the COMAND sys- tem which receive and/or transmit radio waves: The components of this vehicle which receive and/or transmit radio waves are compliant with the basic requirements and other rele- vant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. You can obtain further information from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.


Electromagnetic compatibility The electromagnetic compatibility of the vehi- cle components has been tested and certified in accordance with the current version of Directive 72/245/EEC or the equivalent ECE-R 10 regulation.


Diagnostics connection G WARNING If you connect equipment to a diagnostics connection, it can affect the operation of the vehicle systems. This could compromise the operating safety of your vehicle while driving. There is a risk of an accident. Do not connect any equipment to a diagnos- tics connection. G WARNING Loose equipment or cables hanging from a device which are connected to a diagnostic connection could impede pedal clearance. The equipment or cables could get caught between the pedals when driving and braking suddenly. This could impair the function of the pedals. There is a risk of accident. Do not attach any equipment or cables in the driver's footwell.


! If the engine is switched off and equip-


ment on the diagnostics connection is used, the starter battery may discharge. The diagnostics connection is only intended for the connection of diagnostic equipment at a qualified specialist workshop. Connecting equipment to the diagnostics connection can lead to emissions monitoring information being reset, for example. This may lead to the vehicle failing to meet the requirements of the next emissions test dur- ing the main inspection.


Qualified specialist workshop A qualified specialist workshop has the nec- essary special skills, tools and qualifications to correctly carry out any necessary work on your vehicle. This particularly applies to work relevant to safety. Observe the notes in the Service Booklet. Always have the following work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop: Rwork relevant to safety Rservice and maintenance work Rrepair work Rmodifications, installations and conver-


sions


Rwork on electronic components Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.


Vehicle registration Mercedes-Benz may ask its Service Centres to carry out technical inspections on certain vehicles. The quality or safety of the vehicle is improved as a result of the inspection. Mercedes-Benz can only inform you about vehicle checks if it has your registration data.


Introduction


23


It is possible that your vehicle has not yet been registered in your name in the following cases: Rif your vehicle was not purchased at an


authorised specialist dealer.


Rif your vehicle has not yet been examined


at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.


It is advisable to register your vehicle with a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Inform Mercedes-Benz as soon as possible about any change in address or vehicle own- ership.


Correct use G WARNING Various warning stickers are affixed to your vehicle. Their purpose is to draw your atten- tion, and the attention of others, to various dangers. Therefore, do not remove any warn- ing stickers unless the sticker clearly states that you may do so. If you remove the warning stickers, you or others could be injured by failing to recognise certain dangers.

motor vehicles


Implied warranty ! Follow the instructions in this manual


about the proper operation of your vehicle as well as about possible vehicle damage. Damage to your vehicle that arises from culpable contraventions against these instructions are not covered either by Mercedes-Benz implied warranty or by the New or Used-Vehicle Warranty.


Data stored in the vehicle Fault data Components which are critical for vehicle operation are equipped with fault data mem- ories as standard. There are also data storage devices which record how vehicle compo- nents have reacted in certain driving situa- tions (e.g. airbag deployment or ESP® inter- vention). This data is used exclusively to: Rassist in the rectification of faults and


defects


Rhelp Mercedes-Benz optimise and develop


vehicle functions


The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's movements. When your vehicle is serviced by Mercedes- Benz, this technical information can be read out from the fault memory. This is performed by authorised employees of the Mercedes- Benz service network using special diagnos- tic computers. After a fault has been rectified, the informa- tion is deleted from the memory. Other mem- ory data is constantly overwritten.


Other devices that store data Depending on the equipment level, your vehi- cle may feature communications and/or entertainment systems (e.g. navigation devi- ces, telephone systems). These allow you to save and edit data required for the operation of the respective device. Further information on operation (e.g. on deleting data) can be found in the separate operating instructions.
