Please also observe the following breaking-in
notes:
With certain handling and driving safety sys-
R
tems, the sensors will adjust automatically
while a certain distance is being driven after
the vehicle has been delivered or after repairs.
Full system effectiveness will be reached only
once this teach-in process has concluded.
Brake pads, brake disks and tires that are
R
either new or have been replaced will achieve
optimum braking performance and grip only
after several hundred kilometers of driving.
Compensate for the reduced braking effect by
applying greater force to the brake pedal.
Notes on optimizing acceleration
If all necessary requirements and activation con-
ditions are fulfilled, 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 189).

Pulling away with optimized acceleration
& WARNING Risk of skidding and accidents
due to the wheels spinning
If you pull away using optimized acceleration,
individual wheels can spin and the vehicle can
skid.
There is an increased risk of skidding and
®
accidents, especially when ESP is switched
off!
Make sure that there are no persons or
#
obstacles in the vicinity of the vehicle.

* NOTE 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.
