WARNING

Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust

gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling

these exhaust gases leads to poisoning. There

is a risk of fatal injury. Therefore never leave

the engine running in enclosed spaces

without sufficient ventilation.

Certain engine systems are designed to keep

the level of poisonous components in exhaust

fumes within legal limits.
These systems only work at peak efficiency if

they are serviced exactly in accordance with

the manufacturer's specifications. For this

reason, all work on the engine must be carried

out by qualified and authorized Mercedes-

Benz technicians.
The engine settings must not be changed

under any circumstances. Furthermore, all

specific service work must be carried out at

regular intervals and in accordance with the

Mercedes-Benz service 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

significantly influence the vehicle's

consumption.

Example: ECO display

The ECO display consists of three 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%. A higher

percentage indicates a more economical

driving style.
The ECO display does not indicate the actual

fuel consumption and a fixed percentage

count in the ECO display does not indicate a

fixed consumption 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
