Protection of the environment

Protection of the environment
HEnvironmental note
DaimlerChrysler'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 environ-
ment by operating your vehicle in an envi-
ronmentally-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
consumption.
RMake sure that the tyre pressures are
always correct.
RDo not carry any unnecessary weight.
RKeep an eye on the vehicle's fuel con-
sumption.
RRemove roof racks once you no longer
need them.
RA regularly serviced vehicle will contrib-
ute to environmental protection. You
should therefore adhere to the service
intervals.
RAlways have maintenance work carried
out at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Personal driving style
RDo not depress the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine.
RDo not warm up the engine with the vehi-
cle stationary.
RDrive carefully and maintain a safe dis-
tance from the vehicle in front.
RAvoid frequent, sudden acceleration.
RChange gear in good time and use each
gear only up to 2/3of its maximum engine
speed.
RSwitch 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 t gross 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 your vehi-
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-Benz homepage
or your national hotline number.
