pollution caused by irresponsible disposal  
of the high-voltage battery  
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.  
A high-voltage battery contains materials  
which are harmful to the environment.  
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.

Dispose of faulty high-voltage batteries

Take-back of end-of-life vehicles  
#
#
#
EU countries only:  
Operating conditions:  
Mercedes-Benz will take back your end-of-life  
vehicle for environment-friendly disposal in  
accordance with the European Union (EU) End-Of-  
Life Vehicles Directive.  
#
Make sure that the tyre pressure is cor-  
rect.  
#
Do not carry any unnecessary weight  
(e.g. roof luggage racks once you no lon-  
ger need them).  
A network of vehicle take-back points and dis-  
mantlers has been established for you to return  
your vehicle. You can leave it at any of these  
points free of charge. This makes an important  
contribution to closing the recycling circle and  
conserving resources.  
#
Adhere to the service intervals.  
A regularly serviced vehicle will contrib-  
ute to environmental protection.

disposal of end-of-life vehicles, and the take-back

You could jeopardise the operating safety of your  
vehicle if you use parts, tyres and wheels as well  
as accessories relevant to safety that have not  
been approved by Mercedes-Benz. Safety-critical  
systems (e.g. the brake system) may malfunction.  
Use only Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts or parts of  
equal quality. Use only tyres, wheels and acces-  
sory parts that have been specifically approved  
for your vehicle model.  
Mercedes-Benz tests original parts and conver-  
sion parts and accessory parts that have been  
specifically approved for your vehicle model for  
their reliability, safety and suitability. Despite  
ongoing market research, Mercedes-Benz is  
unable to assess other parts. Mercedes-Benz  
therefore accepts no responsibility for the use of  
such parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if  
they have been officially approved or independ-  
ently approved by a testing centre.

eral operating permit.

Do not install accessory parts such as  
audio systems in these areas.  
#
Do not carry out repairs or welding.  
Have accessories retrofitted at a quali-  
fied specialist workshop.
