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.
Driving in cold weather, in stop-
and-go city traffic, on short trips,
and in hilly country also increase
fuel consumption.
