DaimlerChrysler's declared policy is one of integrated environmental protection. This policy starts at the root causes and encom- passes in its management decisions all the consequences for the environment which could arise from production processes or the products themselves. Therefore you should:
not warm up the engine in idling mode switch off the engine during operation- associated waiting times check fuel consumption carry out the specified maintenance work regularly 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. Operate the engine in an environmentally re- sponsible manner, and you will help to pro- tect the environment. 7 Protection of the environment
