Therefore, equip‐ ment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equipment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems. General information Your vehicle contains advanced technology for the reduction of fuel consumption and emis‐ sions.
Saving fuel Avoid high engine speeds Use 1st gear to get the vehicle in motion. Be‐ ginning with 2nd gear, accelerate rapidly. When accelerating, shift up before reaching high engine speeds. When you reach the desired speed, shift into the highest applicable gear and drive with the engine speed as low as possible and at a con‐ stant speed. As a rule: driving at low engine speeds lowers fuel consumption and reduces wear. The gear shift indicator of your vehicle indi‐ cates the most fuel efficient gear.
Driving tips Saving fuel In addition, context-sensitive instructions can be displayed that assist in driving in a manner that optimizes fuel consumption.
