Drive Sensibly - Save Fuel
Fuel consumption to a great extent
depends on driving habits and operat
ing 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
performed 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.
