Things to remember when driving
Breaking-in
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.
Moving parts need time to adjust to one
another. To ensure that your vehicle continues
to provide optimized economy of operation
throughout an extended service life, we request
that you devote careful attention to the follow-
ing section.
Clutch
Do not use the driving programs 5 and 6, refer
to Drivelogic on page 54, during break-in.
The function of the clutch is only at its opti-
mized level after a distance driven of approx.
300
miles/500 km.
Engine and differential
Always obey all official speed limits.
Following part replacement
Observe the break-in instructions again if com-
ponents mentioned above must be replaced
after subsequent driving operation.
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.
General driving notes
Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the
transmission's kick-down mode during these
initial miles.
Closing luggage compartment lid

lid completely closed, otherwise exhaust

ment.<
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
If special circumstances should make it abso-
lutely necessary to operate the vehicle with the
luggage compartment lid open:
135
mph/220 km/h. Only drive at top speed
briefly, e.g. when passing.

Close both windows.
Transmission
Increase the air volume of the automatic
climate control to a high level, refer to
page 86.
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.
Hot exhaust system
Tires
As in all vehicles, extremely high temper-
atures are generated in the exhaust sys-
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.
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,
etc. Such contact could lead to a fire, and with it
