bring road-salt-impaired braking efficiency
back to normal.
If the vehicle is parked after being driven on
salt-treated roads, the braking efficiency
should be tested as soon as possible after
driving is resumed.
The possibility of a serious or even fatal
accident are greatly increased when you drink
or take drugs and drive.
Do not drink or take drugs and drive or allow
anyone to drive who has been drinking or
taking drugs.
G Warning!
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when carrying out these braking
maneuvers.
Pedals
G Warning!
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals’ range of movement.
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all
obstacles. If there are any floormats or
carpets in the footwell, make sure that the
pedals still have sufficient clearance.
Driving instructions
Drive sensibly – save fuel
To save fuel you should:
RKeep tires at the recommended inflation
pressures.
During sudden driving or braking maneuvers,
the objects could get caught between the
pedals. You could then no longer brake or
accelerate. This could lead to accidents and
injury.
RRemove unnecessary loads.
RRemove carriers when not in use.
RAllow engine to warm up under low load
use.
Power assistance
RAvoid frequent acceleration and
deceleration.
G Warning!
There is no power assistance for the steering
and the brake when the engine is not running.
RHave all maintenance work performed at
the intervals specified in the Maintenance
Booklet and as required by the
Maintenance system. Contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Steering and braking requires significantly
more effort and you could lose control of the
vehicle and cause an accident as a result.
Fuel consumption is also increased by driving
in cold weather, in stop-and-go traffic, on
short trips and in mountainous areas.
Do not turn off the engine while the vehicle is
in motion.
Brakes
Drinking and driving
G Warning!
Downhill grades
!
When driving down long and steep
Drinking and driving and/or taking drugs and
driving are very dangerous combinations.
Even a small amount of alcohol or drugs can
affect your reflexes, perceptions and
judgment.
grades, relieve the load on the brakes by
shifting into a lower gear to use the
engine’s braking power. This helps prevent
overheating of the brakes and reduces
wear.
