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

vehicle's operating life.
