ic transmission will be damaged. Do not drive at
high engine speeds until the engine has warmed
up. This will protect the engine.
!
AMG vehicles: at low engine temperatures
(below 20°C), the maximum engine speed is lim-
ited to protect the engine. Avoid operating the
engine at full-throttle when cold, in order to pro-
tect the engine and avoid inconveniences.
