Drive Sensibly - Save Fuel
Fuel consumption, to a great extent,
depends on driving habits and oper-
ating 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 per-
formed 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.
