Safety
information
Warning
Light
but
consistent
pressure
on
the
brake pedal
can
lead
to
high
temperatures,
brakes
wearing
out
and
possibly
even
brake
system
failure.
There
is
a
risk
of
accident.
Avoid
placing
excessive
stress
on
the
brake
system.

Brake
disc
corrosion
Corrosion
on
the
brake

are
increased
by
the
following
circumstances:
'xLow

periods
when
the

is
not
used
at
all.'xInfrequent
use
of
the
brakes.'xAggressive,
acidic,
or
alkaline
cleaning
agents.
Corrosion
buildup
on
the
brake
discs
will
cause
a pulsating
effect
on
the

in
their
response
-
generally
this
cannot
be
corrected.

Saving
fuelVehicle
features
andoptions
This
chapter
describes
all
standard,
country-spe#jcific
and
optional
features
offered
with
the
series. It
also
describes
features
and
functions
that
are
not
necessarily
available
in
your
vehicle,
e.g.,
due to
the
selected
options
or
country
versions.
Thisalso
applies
to
safety-related
functions
and
sys#j
tems.
When
using
these
functions
and
systems,
the
applicable
laws
and
regulations
must
be
ob#j
served.
Reducing
fuel
consumption
General
information
The
vehicle
contains
advanced
technologies
for
the
reduction
of
consumption
and
emission
val#j ues.
The
fuel
consumption
depends
on
various
fac#j tors,
such
as
driving
style,
road
conditions,
main#jtenance
or
environmental
factors.
Carrying
out
certain
measures,
such
as
a
moder#j
ate
driving
style
and
regular
maintenance,
can
in#j fluence
fuel
consumption
and
the
environmental
impact.
Remove
unnecessary
cargo Additional
weight
increases
fuel
consumption.
Remove
attached
parts
following
use
Attached
parts
on
the
vehicle
impair
the
aerody#jnamics
and
increase
the
fuel
consumption.
Close
the
windows Open
windows
increase
drag
and
therefore
lead
to
greater
fuel
consumption.
Tires
General
information
Tires
can
affect
consumption
in
various
ways,
for
instance
tire
size
may
influence
consumption.
Check
the
tire
pressure
regularlyCheck
and,
if
needed,
correct
the
tire
inflationpressure
at
least
twice
a
month
and
before
start#j
ing
on
a
long
trip.
Low
tire
inflation
pressure
increases
rolling
re#j
sistance
and
thus
raises
fuel
consumption
and
tire
wear.
Observe
the
correct
tire
inflation
pressure
as
well
as
the
ECO
tire
inflation
pressure,
where
applica#j
ble.
Additional
information:
Tire
pressure
specifications,
refer
to
page
314.
Drive
away
without
delay Do
not
wait
for
the
engine
to
warm-up
while
the
vehicle
remains
stationary.
Start
driving
right
away,
but
at
moderate
RPM.
This
is
the
fastest
way
of
warming
the
cold
en#j
gine
up
to
operating
temperature.
Proactive
driving
Driving
smoothly
and
proactively
reduces
fuel
consumption.
Avoid
unnecessary
acceleration
and
braking. By
maintaining
a
suitable
distance
to
the
vehicle
driving
ahead
of
you.
Avoid
high
RPM
Driving
at
low
engine
speeds
lowers
fuel
con#j
sumption
and
reduces
wear.
