Running-in notes
The first 1500 km
G
Ris
kofa ccident
New brake pads/linings only have optimal
braking performance after several hundred
kilometres .Until then, compensate for this by
applying greate rforce to the brake pedal. This
also applies when brake pads/linings or
brake discs have been changed.
If you treat the engine with sufficient care
from the very start,y ou will be rewarded with
excellent performance for the remainder of
the engine's life.
R You should therefore drive at varying road
and engine speeds for the first 1500 km.
R Do not drive faster than 140 km/h for the
first 1500 km.
R Only bring the engine up to a maximum
speed of 4500 rpm for a brief period.
R Avoid heavy loads, e.g. driving at full throt-
tle, during this time. Do not exceed 2
/ 3 of
the maximum permissible engine speed for
each gear.
R When driving in the manual drive program
M, change gear in good time.
R Do not use RACE START.
R Do not shift down a gear manually in order
to brake.
R Try to avoid depressing the accelerator
pedal beyond the pressure point (kick-
down).
R Only select shift range restriction 3,2or
1 when driving slowly, such as in moun-
tainous terrain.
After 1500 km, you may gradually bring the
vehicle up to full road and engine speeds.
i You should also observe these notes on
running in if the engine or the transmission
on your vehicle has been replaced. Refuelling

take, do not switch on the ignition. If you
do, the fuel could enter the fuel lines. The

drained. Informaqualified specialist work-
shop and have the fuel tank and the fuel
lines drained completely.

key, the fuel filler flap is automatically
unlocked or locked.

on the right .The position of the fuel filler cap
is displayed in the instrumentc luster0007.
