Driving
and environment
The first 1,000
miles
(1,500
km) and
afterwards
New
engine
The engine needs to be run-in during the first 1,000 miles
(1,500 km).
For the first 600
miles (1,000
kilometers):
Do not use full throttle.
-
Do not drive faster than 3/4 of the top speed marked on
the speedometer.
- Avoid high engine speeds .
From 600 to 1,000
miles
(1,000
to 1,500
kilometers):
-
Speeds can gradually be increased to the maximum
permissible
road or engine speed.
During
and after
break-in
period
-
Do not rev the engine up to high speeds when it is cold.
This applies whether the transmission
is in N (Neutral) or
1n gear.
After
the break-in
period
-
Do not exceed maximum engine speed under any
circumstances.
-
Upshift into the next higher gear before reaching the red
area at the end of the tachometer
scale => page 12.
Controls and equip-
ment
Safety first
Vehicle operation
During the first few hours of driving, the engine's internal friction is
higher than later when all the moving parts have been broken in.
How well this break-in process is done depends to a considerable
extent on the way the vehicle is driven during the first 1,000 miles
(1,500 kilometers).

Note
Extremely high engine speeds are automatically
reduced. However,
these rpm limits are programmed for an engine well run-in, not a
new engine.
~
For the sake of the environment
Do not drive with unnecessarily high engine speeds - upshifting
early saves fuel, reduces noise and protects the environment . •
New
tires
If your vehicle is running on new tires, drive particularly
careful for the first 350 miles (500 kilometers) after fitting.
&
WARNING
New tires tend to be slippery and must also be "broken-in". Be
sure to remember this during the first 350 miles (500 kilometers).
Brake
gently. Avoid following closely behind other vehicles or
other situations that might require sudden, hard braking. •
