Introduction


Protection of the environment General notes H Environmental note Daimler's declared policy is one of comprehensive environmental protection. The objectives are for the natural resources that form the basis of our existence on this planet to be used sparingly and in a manner 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 environmentally responsible manner. Fuel consumption and the rate of engine, transmission, brake and tire wear are affected by these 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


consumption.


Ralways make sure that the tire pressures


are correct.


Rdo not carry any unnecessary weight. 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.
