Important safety notes
G 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:
R
The tyres should always be inflated to the
recommended tyre pressure.
R
Remove unnecessary loads.
R
Warm up the engine at low engine speeds.
R
Avoid frequent acceleration or braking.
R
Observe the service intervals in the Service
Booklet or in the service interval display.
Have all the maintenance work carried out
in accordance with Daimler AG regulations.
Fuel consumption also increases when driv-
ing in cold weather, in stop-start traffic, on
short journeys and in hilly terrain.
ECO display
ECO display (example: colour multifunction dis-
play)
The ECO display provides feedback on how
economical your driving characteristics are.
The ECO display assists you in achieving the
most economical driving style for the selec-
ted settings and prevailing conditions. Con-
sumption can be significantly influenced by
your driving style.
The ECO display consists of three bars:
R
Acceleration Acceleration
R
Constant Constant
R
Coasting Coasting
The percentage count is the mean value of the
three bar values. The three bars and the mean
value begin at the value of 50%. A higher per-
centage count indicates a more economical
driving style.
The ECO display does not indicate the actual
fuel consumption. A fixed percentage count
in the ECO display does not indicate a fixed
consumption.
In addition to driving style, the consumption is
affected by many other factors, such as:
R
load
R
tyre pressure
R
cold start
R
choice of route
R
the use of electrical consumers
These factors are not included in the ECO dis-
play.
The evaluation of your driving style takes the
following three categories into consideration:
R
Accel. Accel. (evaluation of all acceleration pro-
cesses):
-
the bar fills up: moderate acceleration,
especially at higher speeds
-
the bar empties: sporty acceleration
R
Constant Constant (assessment of driving behav-
iour at all times):
-
the bar fills up: constant speed and
avoidance of unnecessary acceleration
and deceleration
-
the bar empties: fluctuations in speed
R
Coasting Coasting (assessment of all deceleration
processes):
-
the bar fills up: anticipatory driving, keep-
ing your distance and early release of the
