Things to remember when driving
Breaking-in
Clutch
The function of the clutch is only at its opti-
mized level after a distance driven of approx.
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.
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.
Engine and differential
Always obey all official speed limits.
Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km
General driving notes
Drive at changing engine and driving speeds,
however do not exceed 4,500 rpm or 100 mph/
Closing luggage compartment lid
160
km/h.
Only drive with the luggage compartment
lid completely closed, otherwise exhaust
can penetrate into the passenger compart-
ment.<
Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the
transmission's kick-down mode during these
initial miles.
If special circumstances should make it abso-
lutely necessary to operate the vehicle with the
luggage compartment lid open:
From 1,200 miles/2,000 km
The engine and vehicle speed can gradually be
increased.
1.
Coupe: close both windows and the glass
sunroof.
SMG Sequential Manual Transmission
Convertible: with closed top, close all win-
dows.
Do not use the acceleration assistant during the
break-in period, refer to page 65.
2.
Increase the air volume of the automatic cli-
mate control to a high level, refer to
page 108.
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.
Hot exhaust system
As in all vehicles, extremely high temper-
atures are generated in 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,
etc. Such contact could lead to a fire, and with it
the risk of serious property damage as well as
personal injury. Do not touch hot exhaust tail
pipes. Otherwise there is a risk of burns.<
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.
