Drive sensibly - Save Fuel
Fuel consumption, to a great extent, depends on driving
habits and operating conditions.
To save fuel you should:
• keep tires at the recommended inflation pressures,
• remove unnecessary loads,
• remove roof rack when not in use,
• allow engine to warm up under low load use,
• avoid frequent acceleration and deceleration,
• have all maintenance work performed at regular
intervals by 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.
Drinking and Driving
Pedals

Drinking or taking drugs and driving can be a very
dangerous combination. Even a small amount of

and drive.
Please don‘t drink and driver take drugs or allow
anyone to drive after drinking or taking drugs.
