of the rear axle differential. This oil change
extends the service life of the differential.

specialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you use an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center for this purpose.
The more you look after the engine when it is
new, the happier you will be with its
performance in the future.

way to the red area in the tachometer
display.
RIf possible, do not depress the accelerator
pedal past the point of resistance
(kickdown).
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals' range of movement.
Keep the driver's footwell clear of all
obstacles. If there are any floormats or
carpets in the footwell, make sure the pedals
still have sufficient clearance.
ROnly select shift ranges 3, 2 or 1 when
driving slowly, e.g. in mountainous terrain.
During sudden driving or braking maneuvers
the objects could get caught between the
pedals. You could then no longer brake or
accelerate. This could lead to accidents and
injury.
After 1000 miles (1500 km) you may
gradually bring the vehicle up to full road and
engine speeds.
Additional breaking-in notes for AMG
vehicles:
G Warning
RFor the first 1000 miles (1500 km), do not
exceed a speed of 85 mph (140 km/h).
ROnly allow the engine to briefly reach a
maximum engine speed of 4500 rpm.
On slippery road surfaces, never downshift in
order to obtain braking action. This could
result in drive wheel slip and reduced vehicle
control. Your vehicle's ABS will not prevent
this type of loss of control.
RShift gears in good time.
