WARNING
Gases and liquids from substances that con-
stitute a health hazard or react aggressively
can escape, even from securely closed con-
tainers. If you transport these substances
inside the vehicle, this may affect your health
and impair your concentration while you are
driving. It may also cause malfunctions or
electrical component system failures. There is
a risk of fire and accident.
Do not store or transport any substances in
the vehicle that are hazardous to health or
react aggressively.
Examples of substances that are hazardous to
health and/or react aggressively:
R

Environmental note
Daimler AG has a declared policy of compre-
hensive environmental protection.
The objective is to use natural resources spar-
ingly and in a manner that takes the require-
ments 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:
R
the operating conditions of your vehicle
R
your personal driving style
You can influence both factors. For this rea-
son, observe the following notes:
Operating conditions
R
avoid short trips as these increase fuel con-
sumption.
R
make sure that the tyre pressures are
always correct.
R
do not carry any unnecessary weight.
R
a regularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
R
all maintenance work should be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style
R
do not depress the accelerator pedal when
starting the engine.
R
do not warm up the engine with the vehicle
stationary.
R
drive carefully and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front.
R
avoid frequent and heavy acceleration and
braking.
R
change gear in good time and use each gear
only up to
Ô
of its maximum engine speed.
R
switch off the engine when waiting in sta-
tionary traffic.
R
keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel consump-
tion.

Notes on driving
There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
R
the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high kerb
or an unpaved road
R
you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
kerb, a speed bump or a pothole in the road
R
a heavy object strikes the underbody or parts
of the chassis
In such situations, the body, frame, underbody,
chassis parts, wheels or tyres could be damaged
without the damage being visible. Components
damaged in this way can unexpectedly fail or, in
the case of an accident, no longer withstand the
strain they are designed for. If the underbody
panelling is damaged, combustible materials
