WARNING
If you switch off the ignition while driving,
safety-relevant functions are only available
with limitations, or not at all. This could affect,
for example, the power steering and the brake
boosting effect. You will require considerably
more effort to steer and brake. There is a risk
of an accident.
Do not switch off the ignition while driving.
Drive sensibly – save fuel
Observe the following tips to save fuel:
X
The tyres should always be inflated to the rec-
ommended tyre pressure.
X
Remove unnecessary loads.
X
Remove roof carriers when they are not nee-
ded.
X
Warm up the engine at low engine speeds.
X
Avoid frequent acceleration or braking.
X
Have all service and maintenance work car-
ried out at the specified intervals.
Fuel consumption also increases when driving in
cold weather, in stop-start traffic, on short jour-
neys and in hilly terrain.
Short journeys
!
Vehicles with a diesel particle filter: if the
vehicle is mostly driven for short distances, it
is possible that malfunctions may occur dur-
ing the automatic cleaning of the diesel par-
ticle filter. This may lead to fuel collecting in
the engine oil and cause engine failure. There-
fore, if you frequently drive short distances,
you should take a 20 minute trip on a motor-
way or rural road at least every 500km.
Brakes
Important safety notes

WARNING
If you shift down on a slippery road surface in
an attempt to increase the engine's braking
effect, the drive wheels could lose their grip.
This increases the risk of skidding and having
an accident.
Do not shift down for additional engine brak-
ing on a slippery road surface.
