Protection of the environment
* ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental
damage due to operating conditions and
personal driving style
The pollutant emission of your vehicle is
directly related to the way you operate your
vehicle.
You can help to protect the environment by
operating your vehicle in an environmentally-
responsible manner. Please observe the fol‐
lowing recommendations on operating condi‐
tions and personal driving style.
Operating conditions:
#
Make sure that the tire pressure is cor‐
rect.
#
Do not carry any unnecessary weight
(e.g. roof luggage racks once you no
longer need them).
#
Adhere to the service intervals.
A regularly serviced vehicle will contrib‐
ute to environmental protection.
#
Always have service work carried out at
a qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
#
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine.
#
Do not warm up the engine while the
vehicle is stationary.
#
Drive carefully and maintain a suitable
distance from the vehicle in front.
#
Avoid frequent, sudden acceleration
and braking.
#
Change gear in good time and use each
gear only up to Ô of its maximum
engine speed.
#
Switch off the engine in stationary traf‐
fic.
#
Keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel con‐
sumption.
Environmental issues and recommendations:
It is recommended that you re-use or recycle
materials first instead of just disposing of them.
The relevant environmental regulations and
guidelines serve to protect the environment and
must be strictly observed.
