Drive Sensibly - Save Fuel
Fuel consum ption, to a great extent,
depends on driving habits and ope ra t­
ing conditions.
To save fuel you should:
• keep tires at the recom m ended
inflation pressures,
• rem ove unnecessary loads,
• rem ove roof rack when not in use,
• allow engine to w arm up under low
load use,
• avoid frequent acceleration and
deceleration,
• have all m aintenance w ork per­
form ed at regular intervals by an
authorized M ercedes-Benz
dealer.
Fuel consum ption is also increased
by driving in cold w eather, in
stop-and-go traffic, on short trips
and in hilly country.
