ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental
damage due to operating conditions and
personal driving style
The pollutant emission of the vehicle is
directly related to the way you operate the
vehicle.
Operate your vehicle in an environmentally
responsible manner to help protect the envi-
ronment. Please observe the following recom-
mendations on operating conditions and per-
sonal 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 lon-
ger need them).
#
Adhere to the service intervals.
A regularly serviced vehicle will contrib-
ute to environmental protection.
#
Always have maintenance 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 vehicle while sta-
tionary.
#
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 vehicle in stationary traf-
fic, e.g. by using the ECO start/stop
function.
#
Drive in a fuel-efficient manner. Observe
the ECO display for an economical driv-
ing style.
