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.

Do not use the driving programs 5 and 6 during

break-in, refer to Drivelogic on page 62.

Engine and differential

Always obey all official speed limits.

Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km

Drive at changing engine and driving speeds,

however do not exceed 5,500 rpm or 105 mph/

170 km/h.

Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the

transmission's kick-down mode during these

initial miles.

From 1,200 miles/2,000 km to

3,000 miles/5,000 km

The engine and driving speed can gradually be

increased up to a continuous vehicle speed of

135 mph/220 km/h. Only drive at top speed

briefly, e.g. when passing.

Transmission

The function of the transmission is only at its

optimized level after driving a distance of

approx. 300 miles/500 km. Do not exceed

engine speeds of 5,500 rpm during this time.

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. Drive in a reserved manner during

this break-in period.

Clutch

The function of the clutch is only at its opti-

mized level after a distance driven of approx.

300 miles/500 km. With manual transmission:

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 into the passenger compartment.<

If it is absolutely necessary to drive with the lug-

gage compartment lid open:

1. Close all windows and the glass sunroof.

2. Increase the air volume of the automatic cli-

mate control to a high level, refer to

page 100.

Hot exhaust system

As in all vehicles, extremely high temper-

atures are generated on the exhaust sys-

tem. Do not remove the heat shields installed

adjacent to it, and never apply undercoating to

them. When driving, standing at idle and while

parking take care to avoid possible contact

between the hot exhaust system and any highly

flammable materials such as hay, leaves, grass,
