Breaking-in period
General information Moving parts need to be broken in to adjust to
each other.

long vehicle life and good economy.
Engine and differential Always obey all official speed limits.
Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km

transmission's kickdown mode for the initial
miles.

traction potential until after an initial breaking-
in period.

Brakes require an initial break-in period of ap‐
prox. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimized
contact and wear patterns between brake pads and discs. Drive cautiously during this break-in
period.

observed if any of the components mentioned
above have to be renewed in the course of the
vehicle's operating life.
