Operation
Driving instructions
Fuel consumption, to a great extent, de-
pends on driving habits and operating
conditions.
To save fuel you should:
앫 Keep tires at the recommended tire
inflation pressures.
앫 Remove unnecessary loads.
앫 Allow engine to warm up under low
load use.
앫 Avoid frequent acceleration and de-
celeration.
앫 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 area.
Driving instructions
Drive sensibly – save fuel
Drinking and driving
Warning! G
Drinking and driving and/or taking drugs
and driving are very dangerous combina-
tions. Even a small amount of alcohol or
drugs can affect your reflexes, perceptions
and judgment.
The possibility of a serious or even fatal ac-
cident are greatly increased when you
drink or take drugs and drive.
Do not drink or take drugs and drive or al-
low anyone to drive who has been drink-
ing or taking drugs.
Pedals
Warning! G
Make sure that absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals’ range of move-
ment. 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.
Power assistance
Warning! G
The electro-hydraulic brake system re-
quires electrical power to operate.
A malfunction in the vehicle’s power sup-
ply or electrical system may impair brake
system operation and switch it into its
emergency operation mode. In such a case,
the red brake warning lamp (컄 page 360)
and warning messages in the instrument
cluster come on while driving
(see page 380 to page 381). To brake, the
driver must then apply significantly great-
er brake pedal pressure and depress the
pedal much further to obtain the expected
braking effect. If necessary, apply full pres-
sure to the brake pedal. Brakes may only
be applied to the front wheels. Stopping
distance is increased!
If there is a malfunction in the electro-hy-
draulic brake system, we recommend that
the vehicle be transported with all wheels
off the ground using flatbed or appropri-
ate wheel lift/dolly equipment. A tow bar
must be used if circumstances do not per-
mit the use of the recommended towing
methods and the vehicle requires towing
with all four wheels on the ground. Tow-
ing the vehicle with all four wheels on the
ground is only permissible for distances up
to 30 miles (50 km) and at a speed not to
exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
