Fuel consumption, to a great extent, de-
pends on driving habits and operating
conditions.
To save fuel you should:
Keep tires at the recommended infla-
tion pressures.
Remove unnecessary loads.
Allow engine to warm up under low
load use.
Avoid frequent acceleration and de-
celeration.
Have all maintenance work per-
formed at the intervals specified in
the Maintenance Booklet and as re-
quired by the Maintenance System
(U.S. vehicles) or FSS (Canada vehi-
cles). Contact an authorized Maybach
Studio.
Fuel consumption is also increased by
driving in cold weather, in stop-and-go
traffic, on short trips and in hilly country.

keep in mind that a considerably higher
degree of effort is necessary to brake and
steer the vehicle.
