Things to remember when driving

Break-in period

Moving parts need breaking-in time to adjust to

each other. To ensure that your vehicle contin-

ues to provide optimized economy of operation

throughout an extended service life, we request

that you devote careful attention to the follow-

ing section.

Engine and differential

Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km:

You should attempt to vary both engine and

vehicle speeds. Until the break-in period has

been completed, you should also refrain from

exceeding an engine speed of 4,500 rpm or a

driving speed of 100 mph/160 km/h.

Always obey all official speed limits.

Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the

transmission's kick-down mode during these

initial miles.

Once you have driven 1,200 miles/2000 km, the

engine and vehicle speeds can be gradually

increased.

SMG Sequential manual transmission

Do not use the acceleration assistant during the

break-in period, refer to page 55.

Tires

Due to technical factors associated with their

manufacture, tires do not achieve their full trac-

tion potential until after an initial break-in

period. Therefore, drive reservedly during the

first 200 miles/300 km.

Brake system

Brakes require an initial break-in period of

approx. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimized

contact and wear patterns between brake pads

and rotors.

Clutch

The function of the clutch is only at its opti-

mized level after a distance driven of approx.

300 miles/500 km. During this break-in period,

engage the clutch gently.

Following part replacement

Observe the break-in instructions again if com-

ponents mentioned above must be replaced

after subsequent driving operation.

General driving notes

Closing luggage compartment lid

Operate the vehicle only when the lug-

gage compartment lid is completely

closed. Otherwise, exhaust fumes could pene-

trate to the interior of the vehicle.<

If special circumstances should make it abso-

lutely necessary to operate the vehicle with the

luggage compartment lid open:

1. Close all windows and the glass sunroof.

2. Increase the air volume of the automatic

climate control to a high level, refer to

page 91.

Hot exhaust system

As in all vehicles equipped with a catalytic

converter, extremely high temperatures

are generated in this vehicle. Do not remove the

heat shields installed adjacent to various sec-

tions of the exhaust system, and never apply

undercoating to them. When driving, standing

at idle and while parking take care to avoid pos-

sible contact between the hot exhaust system

and any highly flammable materials such as hay,

leaves, grass, etc. Such contact could lead to a

fire, and with it the risk of serious property dam-

age as well as personal injury.<
