This also applies when the engine or parts of the
drivetrain have been replaced.
Please also observe the following breaking-in
notes:
In certain driving and driving safety systems,
R
the sensors will adjust automatically while a
certain distance is being driven a er the vehi-
cle has been delivered or a er repairs. Full
system e ectiveness will not be reached until
the end of this teach-in process.
Brakepads, brake disks and tires that are
R
either new or have been replaced will achieve
their optimum braking e ect and grip only
a er several hundred miles of driving. Com-
pensate for the reduced braking e ect by
applying greater force to the brake pedal.
N N o o t t es on op es on optimized acceler timized acceleration ation
If all necessary requirements and activation con-
ditions are ful lled, the best possible acceleration
can be achieved from a standstill.
Do not use optimized 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 157).

ARNING Risk of skidding and having an
accident from wheels spinning
When you use optimized acceleration, individ-

trol of the vehicle.

If ESP is deactivated, there is a risk of skid-
ding and accident.
Make sure that no persons or obstacles

* N N O O TE TE Increased wear due to optimized
acceleration
When pulling away with optimized accelera-
tion, all components of the drivetrain are sub-
jected to a very high load.
This can lead to increased component wear.
Do not always pull away with optimized
#
acceleration.
