Drive Sensibly - Save Fuel
Fuel consumption depends to a great
extent on driving habits and operating
conditions.
In order to save fuel you should:
• 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
• shift gears on time, do not exceed
2 A
of the individual gears' max.
speed
• have all the maintenance jobs
specified by us carried out at
regular intervals by an authorized
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer.
Driving in low temperature weather, in
stop-and-go city traffic and on short
hops, and in hilly country as well,
increases fuel consumption.
