DRIVING TIPS
Things to remember when driving
Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional features offered with the series.
It also describes features that are not necessarily
available in your vehicle, e. g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This also applies to
safety-related functions and systems. When us‐
ing these functions and systems, the applicable
laws and regulations must be observed.
Breaking-in period
General information
Moving parts need to begin working together
smoothly.
The following instructions will help you to ach‐
ieve a long vehicle life and good efficiency.
Safety information
WARNING
Due to new parts and components, safety and
driver assistance systems can react with a de‐
lay. There is a risk of an accident. After instal‐
ling new parts or with a new vehicle, drive con‐
servatively and intervene early if necessary.
Observe the break-in procedures of the re‐
spective parts and components.
Range Extender
The full performance of the Range Extender is
available after a brief operating period and is only
minimally restricted during the run-in phase.
Control of the Range Extender during and after
the run-in phase, as well as the activation of the
full performance, are preset depending on the
system and take place automatically.

Tires
Tire traction is not optimal due to manufacturing
circumstances when tires are brand-new; they
achieve their full traction potential after a break-in
time.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
Brake system
Brake discs and brake pads only reach their full
effectiveness after approx. 300 miles/500 km.
Drive moderately during this break-in period.
Following part replacement
The same break-in procedures should be ob‐
served if any of the components above-men‐
tioned have to be renewed in the course of the
vehicle's operating life.
Using eDRIVE efficiently
Concept
eDRIVE operates automatically. Proactive driving
utilizes energy consumption and energy recovery
optimally. Energy recovery is used to charge the
high-voltage battery. Energy recovery is impor‐
tant for the supply of electrical components and
thus a prerequisite for an extensive range. En‐
ergy consumption and recovery depend very
much, among other things, on your driving style.
Optimizing driving style
Performance display
Your driving style can be optimized using the
performance display.
