movement.

The possibility of a serious or even fatal ac-
cident are greatly increased when you drink
or take drugs and drive.
Remove roof rack when not in use.

Allow engine to warm up under low
load use.
Do not drink or take drugs and drive or allow
anyone to drive who has been drinking or
taking drugs.
With the engine not running, there is no
power assistance for the brake and steering
systems. In this case, it is important to keep
in mind that a considerably higher degree of
effort is necessary to brake and steer the ve-
hicle.

Avoid frequent acceleration and decel-
eration.
Have all maintenance work performed
at the intervals specified in the Mainte-
nance Booklet and as required by the

FSS (Canada vehicles). Contact an au-
thorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Fuel consumption is also increased by driv-
ing in cold weather, in stop-and-go traffic,
on short trips, and in hilly area.
