Economical driving
Driving economically means driving smoothly
while thinking ahead and adjusting your driv-
ing style and speed to the prevailing condi-
tions.
•
For lowest fuel consumption, activate
ECO (p. 275)*
16
.
•
Use the ECO Guide which indicates how
fuel-efficiently the car is being driven, see
Eco guide & Power guide* (p. 64).
•
Drive in the highest gear possible, adap-
ted to the current traffic situation and
road - lower engine speeds result in lower
fuel consumption. Use the gear indicator
(p. 259).
•
Avoid sudden unnecessary acceleration
and heavy braking.
•
High speed results in increased fuel con-
sumption - the wind resistance increases
with speed.
•
Do not run the engine to operating tem-
perature at idling speed, but rather drive
with a light load as soon as possible - a
cold engine consumes more fuel than a
warm one.
•
Drive with the correct air pressure in the
tyres and check this regularly - select
ECO tyre pressure for best results, see
Tyres - approved tyre pressures (p. 388).
•
Choice of tyres can affect fuel consump-
tion - seek advice on suitable tyres from a
dealer.
•
Remove unnecessary items from the car -
the greater the load the higher the con-
sumption.
•
Use engine braking to slow down, when it
can take place without risk to other road
users.
•
A roof load and ski box increase air resis-
tance, leading to higher consumption -
remove the load carriers when not in use.
•
Avoid driving with open windows.

WARNING
Never switch off the engine while moving,
such as downhill, this deactivates impor-
tant systems such as the power steering
and brake servo.
