WARNING
If you swi tch off the ignition while dr iv-
ing, safety-relevant functions are only
available with limitations, or not at all.
This could affect, for example, the power
steering and the brake boosting effect. You
will require considerably more effort to
steer and brake. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Do not switch off the ignition while driv-
ing.
Drive sensibly- save fuel
Observe the following tips to save fuel:
• The tyres should always be inflated to the
recommended tyre pressure .
• Remove unnecessary loads .
• Warm up the engine at l ow engine speeds.
• Avoid frequent acceleration or braking .
• Have all maintenance work carried out as
indicated by the service intervals in the
Service Booklet or by the service inter-
val display.
Fuel consumption also increases when
driving in cold weather, in stop-start
traffic and in hilly terrain.
------------------------------
The eco score display provides feedback on
how economical your driving characteris-
tics are. The eco score display assists you
in achieving the most economical driving
style for the selected settings and pre -
vailing conditions. Consumption can be
significantly influenced by your driving
style.
In addition to driving style, the consump-
tion is affected by many other factors, such
as :
• load
• tyre pressure
• cold start
• choice of route
• the use of electrical consumers
These factors are not included in the eco
score display.
The percentage count in eco score dis-
play
CD
only appears after a distance of
approx. 400 m has been covered . A higher
percentage count indicates a more econom-
ical driving style.
If
the ignition remains
switched off for longer than four hours, the
eco score display
CD
in the on-board com-
puter will be automatically reset.
