To preserve the engine during the Nrst 1000 miles
(1500 km):
= Drive at varying road speeds and engine
speeds.
= No faster than 85 mph (140 km/h).
= Drive the vehicle in drive mode A or  .
= Shis to the next higher gear at the very latest
when the needle reaches the last third before the red area in the tachometer.
= Do not shis down manually in order to brake.
= Avoid overstraining the vehicle, e.g. driving at
full throttle.
= Do not depress the accelerator pedal past the
pressure point (kickdown).
= Only increase the engine speed gradually and
accelerate the vehicle to full speed aser
1000 miles (1500 km).
This also applies when the engine or parts of the
drivetrain have been replaced.
Driving and parking157

Please also observe the following breaking-innotes:
= In certain driving and driving safety systems,
the sensors adjust automatically while a cer-
tain distance is being driven aser the vehicle
has been delivered or aser repairs. Full sys-
tem eMectiveness is only reached when this
teaching-in process has concluded.
= Brake pads, brake disks and tires that are
either new or have been replaced achieve opti-
mum braking eMect and grip only aser several
hundred kilometers. Compensate the reduced braking eMect by applying greater force to the
brake pedal.
Notes on optimized acceleration
If all necessary requirements and activation con-
ditions are fulNlled, the best possible acceleration
can be achieved from a standstill.
Do not use the optimized acceleration on publicroads. Individual wheels could spin and you could
lose control of the vehicle. There is an increased
risk of skidding and/or accident.
Be sure to observe the safety notes and informa-
tion on ESP n
( page 189).
Pulling away with optimized acceleration
&WARNING Risk of skidding and having an
accident from wheels spinning
When you use optimized acceleration, individ- ual wheels could spin and you could lose con-trol of the vehicle.
If ESP n
is deactivated, there is a risk of skid-
ding and accident.
Make sure that no persons or obstacles are in the close vicinity of your vehicle.
Requirements: = the vehicle has been broken in (  page 157).
= the vehicle and tires are in good condition.
= you are on a high-grip roadway.
= the engine and transmission are at normal
operating temperature.
*NOTE Increased wear due to optimized
acceleration
When pulling away with optimized accelera-
tion, all components of the drivetrain are sub-
jected to a very high load.
This can lead to increased component wear.
Do not always pull away with optimized
acceleration.Engage the [ drive position (  page 174).Move the steering wheel to the straight-ahead
position.Select the sportiest available drive program
B or C ( page 170).Deactivate ESP n
( page 191).Depress and hold the brake pedal Nrmly with
your les foot.With your right foot, fully depress the acceler-
ator pedal.158Driving and parking
