Saving fuel

Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes model-specific equip-
ment, systems and functions that are available
now and will be available in the future, even if
they are not available in the owned vehicle.
Additional information:
Vehicle equipment, refer to page 8.
Reducing fuel consumption
General information
The vehicle contains advanced technologies
for the reduction of consumption and emission
values.
Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif-
ferent factors.
Carrying out certain measures, such as a mod-
erate driving style and regular maintenance,
can influence fuel consumption and the envi-
ronmental pollution.
Removing unnecessary cargo
Additional weight increases fuel consumption.
Removing attached parts following
use
Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aero-
dynamics and increase the fuel consumption.
Closing windows and glass sunroof
Driving with the glass sunroof and windows
open results in increased drag and raises fuel
consumption.

Tires
General information
Tires can have different effects on the con-
sumption values, consumption can be influ-
enced by the tire size, for example.
Checking the tire pressure regularly
Check and, if needed, correct the tire inflation
pressure at least twice a month and before
starting on a long trip.
Low tire pressure increases rolling resistance
and thus fuel consumption and tire wear.
Additional information:
Tire pressure specifications, refer to page 258.
Drive away without delay
Do not wait for the engine to warm-up while
the vehicle remains stationary. Start driving
right away, but at moderate RPM.
This is the fastest way of warming the cold
engine up to operating temperature.
Anticipatory driving
A smooth and anticipatory driving style re-
duces fuel consumption.
Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
Maintain a suitable distance to the vehicle driv-
ing ahead of you.
Avoid high RPM
Driving at low engine speeds lowers fuel con-
sumption and reduces wear.
If necessary, observe the vehicle's gear shift
indicator.
