D rive S e nsib ly - Save Fuel
Fuel consumption, to a great extent,
depends on driving habits and operat­
ing conditions.
To save fuel you should:
• keep tires at the recommended
inflation pressures
• remove unnecessary loads
• remove ski racks or roof-mounted
luggage racks when not in use
• allow engine to warm up under low
load use
• avoid frequent acceleration and
deceleration
• have all maintenance work
performed at regular intervals by
an authorized MERCEDES-BENZ
dealer.
Fuel consumption is also increased by
driving in cold weather, in stop-and-go
traffic, on short trips and in hilly
country.
