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-
mounted luggage racks when
not in use
• not warm up your engine at idle
and with the vehicle at standstill
• avoid frequent acceleration and
deceleration
• have all the maintenance jobs
specified by us carried out at
regular intervals by an autho
rized MERCEDES-BENZ dealer
Driving in low temperature weather,
in stop-and-go city traffic and on
short hops, and in hilly country also
increases fuel consumption
