Check Regularly And Before A Long Trip - Mercedes-Benz E 320 1994 Owner's Manual

The First 1000 Miles
(1500 km)
The more cautiously you treat your
vehicle during the break-in period,
the more satisfied you will be with
its performance later on. There­
fore, drive your vehicle during the
first 1000 miles (1500 km) at
moderate vehicle and engine
speeds.
During this period, avoid heavy
loads (full throttle driving) and
high RPM (no more than 2/3 of
maximum permissible speed in
each gear as indicated on the
speedometer).
8
Avoid accelerating by kickdown. It
is not recommended to brake the
vehicle by manually shifting to a
lower gear. We recommend to
select positions " 3" or " 2 " only at
moderate speeds (for hill driving).
After 1000 miles (1500 km)
speeds may gradually be in­
creased to the permissible
maximum.
