Drive Sensibly - Save Fuel
Fuel consumption depends to a great
extent on driving habits and operating
conditions.
In order to save fuel you sh o u ld :
• ensure that tire pressures are
correct
• not carry unnecessary loads
• remove ski racks or roofmounted
luggage racks when not in use
• not warm up your engine at idle and
with the vehicle at standstill
• avoid frequent acceleration and
deceleration
• avoid frequent braking
• shift gears on time, do not exceed
% of the individual gears' max.
speeds
• avoid unnecessarily high speeds
• have all the maintenance jobs spe­
cified by us carried out at regular
intervals by a MERCEDES-BENZ
service station.
Driving in low tem perature weather, in
stop-and-go city traffic and on short
hops, and in hilly country as well,
increases fuel consumption.
