Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with
the series. It also describes features that are
not necessarily available in your vehicle,
e. g., due to the selected options or country
versions. This also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When using these
functions and systems, the applicable laws
and regulations must be observed.
General information
The vehicle contains advanced technologies
for the reduction of fuel consumption and
emission values.
Fuel consumption depends on a number of
different factors.
The implementation of certain measures,
driving style and regular maintenance can
influence fuel consumption and environ-
mental impact.
Remove unnecessary cargo
Additional weight increases fuel consump-
tion.
Remove attached parts follow-
ing use
Remove rear luggage racks which are no
longer required following use.
Attached parts on the vehicle impair the
aerodynamics and increase the fuel con-
sumption.
Closing the windows
Open windows increase air resistance and
therefore lead to greater fuel consumption.
Tires
General information
Tires can affect fuel consumption in various
ways, for instance tire size may influence
fuel consumption.
Check the tire inflation pressure
regularly
Check and, if needed, correct the tire infla-
tion pressure at least twice a month and be-
fore starting on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling
resistance and thus raises fuel consumption
and tire wear.
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 engine
speeds.
This is the fastest way for the cold engine
to reach its operating temperature.
