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 roof rack 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 service display. 
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz 
Center.

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

G

Drinking and driving and/or taking drugs 
and driving are very dangerous combina-
tions. Even a small amount of alcohol or 
drugs can affect your reflexes, perceptions 
and judgement.

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

Keep driver’s foot area clear at all times. 
Objects stored in this area may impair pedal 
movement.

G

With the engine not running, there is no 
power assistance for the brake and steering 
systems. In this case, it is important to keep 
in mind that a considerably higher degree of 
effort is necessary to brake and steer the 
vehicle.
