Only increase the engine speed gradually and
R
accelerate the vehicle to full speed a er
1,500 km.
Dur
During tr
ing trailer oper
ailer operation:
ation: do not attempt to
R
drive on a gradient greater than 7% and further
than 7 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 a er the vehicle
has been delivered or a er repairs. Full sys-
tem e ectiveness is not reached until the end
of this teach-in process.
Brakepads, brake disks and tyres that are
R
either new or have been replaced only achieve
optimum braking e ect and grip a er several
hundred kilometres of driving. Compensate 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 optimised acceler
timised 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 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

ARNING Risk of skidding and having an
accident from wheels spinning
When you use optimised acceleration, individ-
ual wheels could spin and you could lose con-
trol of the vehicle.
If ESP
®
is deactivated, there is a risk of skid-
ding and accident!
Make sure that no persons or obstacles
#
are in the close vicinity of your vehicle.

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