Things to remember when driving

Breaking-in period

General information

Moving parts need to be broken in to adjust to

each other.

The following instructions will help achieve a

long vehicle life and good economy.

Engine and differential

Always obey the official speed limit.

Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km

Do not exceed the maximum engine and road

speed:

▷ For gasoline engine, 4500 rpm and

100 mph/160 km/h.

Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the

transmission's kickdown mode for the initial

miles.

From 1,200 miles/2,000 km

The engine and vehicle speed can gradually be

increased.

Tires

Due to technical factors associated with their

manufacture,

tires do not achieve their full trac‐

tion potential until after an initial breaking-in pe‐

riod.

Drive conservatively for the first 200 miles/

300 km.

Brake system

Brakes require an initial break-in period of ap‐

prox. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimized

contact and wear patterns between brake pads

and discs. Drive moderately during this break-in

period.

Following part replacement

The same breaking in procedures should be ob‐

served if any of the components mentioned

above have to be renewed in the course of the

vehicle's operating life.

General driving notes

Closing the tailgate

Drive with the tailgate closed

Only drive with the tailgate closed; other‐

wise, in the event of an accident or braking or

evasive maneuvers, passengers or other road

users may be injured or the vehicle may be dam‐

aged. In addition, exhaust fumes may enter the

passenger compartment.◀

If driving with the tailgate open cannot be

avoided:

▷ Close all windows and the glass sunroof*.

▷ Greatly increase the blower speed.

▷ Drive moderately.

Hot exhaust system

High temperatures are generated in the

exhaust system.

Do not remove the heat shields installed and

never apply undercoating to them. When driv‐

ing,

standing at idle and while parking, take care

to avoid possible contact between the hot ex‐

haust system and any highly flammable materi‐

als such as hay, leaves, grass, etc. Such contact

could lead to a fire, and with it the risk of serious

personal injury as well as property damage.

Do not touch hot exhaust pipes; otherwise, there

is the danger of getting burned.◀
