Certain engin esystems are designed to keep
the level of poisonous component sinexhaust

The engin esettings must not be changed

regular intervals and in accordance with the
Mercedes-Ben zservice requirements. Details
can be found in the Maintenance Booklet. ECO display
The ECO display gives you information on how
economical your driving style is. The ECO
display assists you in achieving the optimum
driving style in term sofconsumption ,taking
the actual and selected conditions into
consideration .Your driving style can
significantly influence the vehicle's
consumption. Example: ECO display (color multifunction display)
The ECO display consist softhree bars:
R Acceleration R
Constant R
Coasting The percent value is the average value of the
three bars. The three bars and the mean value
begin at the value of 50%. Ahigher percentage indicates
amoree conomical
driving style.
The ECO display doe snot indicate the actual
fue lconsumption and afixe dp ercentage
count in the ECO display doe snot indicate a
fixe dconsumption figure.
Apart from driving style, consumption is
dependent on many factors such as ,e.g.:
R load
R tire pressure
R cold start
R choice of route
R electrical consumers switched on
These factors are not taken into
consideration by the ECO display.
The evaluation of your driving styl eiscarried
ou tu sing the following three categories:
R Acceleration (evaluation of all
acceleration processes):
- The bar fills up: moderate acceleration,
especially at higher speeds
- The bar empties: sporty acceleration
R Constant (assessment of driving behavior
at all times):
- The bar fills up: constant speed and
avoidance of unnecessary acceleration
and deceleration
- The bar empties: fluctuations in speed
R Coasting (assessment of all deceleration
processes):
- The bar fills up: anticipatory driving,
keeping your distance and early release
of the accelerator. The vehicle can coast
without use of the brakes.
- The bar empties: frequent braking
i An economical driving style specially
requires driving at moderate engine
speeds.

WARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or
not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants .There is arisk of injury,
particularly in the even tofsudden braking or
as udde nchange in direction.
Always store objectssot hat they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggageor
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey. G
WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. If the tailgate
is open when the engine is running,
particularly if the vehicle is moving, exhaust
fumes could enter the passenger
compartment. There is arisk of poisoning.
Turn off the engine before opening the
tailgate. Never drive with the tailgate open.
The handling characteristics of aladen
vehicle are dependent on the distribution of
the load within the vehicle. For this reason,
you should observe the following notes when
transporting aload:
R Never exceed the maximum permissible
gross vehicle weight or the gross axle weight rating of the vehicle (including
occupants). The values are specified on the
vehicle identification plate on the B-pillar of
the driver's door.
R The cargo compartmentist he preferred
place to carry objects.
R Position heavy loads as far forwards as
possible and as low down in the cargo
compartmentasp ossible.
R The load must not protrude above the
upper edge of the seat backrests.
R Alwaysp lace the load against the rear or
front seat backrests. Make sure that the
seat backrests are securely locked into
place.
R Alwaysp lace the load behind unoccupied
seats if possible.
R Use the cargo tie down rings and the parcel
nets to transport loads and luggage.
R Use cargo tie-down rings and fastening
materials appropriate for the weight and
size of the load.
R Hook in the cargo net when loading.
R The maximum load capacity of the stowage
well under the cargo compartment floor is
55 lbs (25 kg).
R Secure the load with sufficiently strong and
wear-resistant tie-downs. pad sharp edges
for protection.
! Do not position the load on one part of the
folding cargo compartment floor only. The
maximum load capacity of the folding cargo
compartment floor is 220 lbs (100 kg).
Distribute the weight evenly to avoid
damaging the cargo compartment floor.
Place asolid board under the load if
necessary. Please note that the load on the
cargo compartment floor will be increased
when the load is lashed down. 250
