Drive Sensibly - Save Fuel
Fuel consumption depends to a
great extent on driving habits and
operating conditions.
n order to save fuel you should:
• ensure that tire pressures are
correct
• not carry unnecessary loads
• remove ski racks or roof-m ount
ed 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 ex
ceed % of the individual gears'
max. speed
• have all the maintenance jobs
specified by us carried out at
regular intervals by an au
thorized 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.

The First 1500 km/1000 Miles
The more cautiously you treat your
engine during the break-in period,
the more satisfied you will be with
its performance later on. Therefore,
drive your vehicle during the first
1500 km/1000 miles at moderate
vehicle and engine speeds.
During this period, avoid heavy
loads (full throttle driving) and high
RPMs (no more than % of maximum
permissible speed in each gear).
Down shift at proper engine speed!
On vehicles with automatic trans
mission avoid accelerating by kick-
down. t is not recommended to
brake the vehicle by manually shift
ing to a lower gear. We recommend
to select positions “3” or “2” only at
moderate speeds (for hill driving).
After 1500 km/1000 miles, speeds
may gradually be increased to the
permissible maximum.
