Running-in notes
To preserve the engine during the first 1500 km:
drive at varying road speeds and engine
R
speeds.
do not drive at speeds greater than
R
140 km/h.
drive the vehicle in drive program A
R
or ;.
shift to the next highest gear at the very lat‐
R
est when the needle reaches the last third
before the red area in the rev counter.
do not shift down a gear manually in order to
R
brake.
avoid overstraining the vehicle, e.g. driving at
R
full throttle.
do not depress the accelerator pedal past
R
the pressure point (kickdown).
only increase the engine speed gradually and
R
accelerate the vehicle to full speed after
1500 km.
This also applies when the engine or parts of the
drivetrain have been replaced.
Please also observe the following running-in
notes:
in certain driving and driving safety systems,
R
the sensors adjust automatically while a cer‐
tain distance is being driven after the vehicle
has been delivered or after repairs. Full sys‐
tem effectiveness is not reached until the
end of this teach-in process.
brakepads, brake discs and tyres that are
R
either new or have been replaced only ach‐
ieve optimum braking effect and grip after
several hundred kilometres of driving. Com‐
pensate for the reduced braking effect by
applying greater force to the brake pedal.
Notes on optimised acceleration
If all necessary requirements and activation con‐
ditions are fulfilled, the best possible accelera‐
tion can be achieved from a standstill.
Do not use the optimised acceleration on public
roads. Individual wheels could spin and you
could lose control of the vehicle. There is an
increased risk of skidding and/or accident.
Be sure to observe the safety notes and informa‐
®
tion on ESP ( page 233).
