Driving instructions 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 Warning! Drinking or taking drugs and driving can be a very dangerous combination. Even a small amount of alcohol or drugs can affect your reflexes, perceptions and judgement. The possibility of a serious or even fatal accident is sharply increased when you drink or take drugs and drive. Please don't drink or take drugs and drive or allow anyone to drive after drinking or taking drugs. Pedals Warning! Keep driver's foot area clear at all times. Objects stored in this area may impair pedal movement. Driving instructions Instruments and controls Operation Driving 203 Instrument cluster display Practical hints Car care Technical data Index
