The first 1 000 miles (1 500 km)
Maintenance
The more cautiously you treat your vehicle during the
break-in period, the more satisfied you will be with its
performance later on. Therefore, drive your vehicle
during the first 1 000 miles (1 500 km) at moderate
vehicle and engine speeds.
Approximately 30 days or 2 000 miles
(Canada: 2000 km) prior to the next recommended
service, the remaining distance or days are displayed in
the multifunction indicator. See Flexible Service System
(FSS) on page 87.
During this period, avoid heavy loads (full throttle
driving) and excessive engine speeds.
We strongly recommend that you have your vehicle
serviced by your authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center, in accordance with the Service Booklet at the
times called for by the FSS.
Avoid accelerating by kickdown. It is not recommended
to brake the vehicle by manually shifting to a lower gear.
We recommend that you select positions “3”, “2” or “1”
only at moderate speeds (for hill driving).
Failure to have the vehicle maintained in accordance
with the Service Booklet at the designated times/
mileage may result in vehicle damage not covered by
the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
After 1 000 miles (1 500 km) speeds may be gradually
increased to the permissible maximum.
Check regularly and before a long trip, see page 215.
