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 per

formed at regular intervals by an

authorized Mercedes-Benz
dealer.

Fuel consumption is also increased
by driving in cold weather, in

stop-and-go traffic, on short trips

and in hilly country.
