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 roof-mount
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
• avoid frequent braking
• shift gears on time, do not ex
ceed % of the individual gears’
max speed
• avoid unnecessarily high speeds
• have all the maintenance jobs
specified by us carried out at
regular intervals by a
MERCEDES-BENZ service sta
tion
Driving in low temperature weather,
in stop-and-go city traffic and on
short hops, and in hilly country as
well, increases fuel consumption

What You Should Know

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 It is not recommended to
brake the vehicle by means of man
ually shifting 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
