Mercedes Benz 2009 M-Class User Manual

왔

Fuel consumption, to a great extent, 
depends on driving habits and operating 
conditions.

To save fuel you should:

앫

Keep tires at the recommended infla-
tion pressures.

앫

Remove unnecessary loads.

앫

Remove carriers* when not in use.

앫

Allow engine to warm up under low 
load use.

앫

Avoid frequent acceleration and decel-
eration.

앫

Have all maintenance work performed 
at the intervals specified in the 
Maintenance Booklet and as required 
by the Maintenance System (U.S. vehi-
cles) or FSS PLUS (Canada vehicles). 
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz 
Light Truck Center.

Fuel consumption is also increased by 
driving in cold weather, in stop-and-go traf-
fic, on short trips and in hilly areas.

G

Drinking and driving and/or taking drugs 

and driving are a very dangerous combina-

tion. Even a small amount of alcohol or 

drugs can affect your reflexes, perceptions 

and judgment.

The possibility of a serious or even fatal 

accident are greatly increased when you 

drink or take drugs and drive.

Do not drink or take drugs and drive or allow 

anyone to drive who has been drinking or 

taking drugs.

G

Make sure that absolutely no objects are ob-

structing the pedal’s range of movement. 

Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all obsta-

cles. If there are any floormats or carpets in 

the footwell, make sure that the pedals still 

have sufficient clearance.

During sudden driving or braking maneu-

vers, the objects could get caught between 

the pedals. You could then no longer brake 

or accelerate. This could lead to accidents 

and injury.
