Running-in notes
After the vehicle has been delivered or after
repairs, the sensor system of some driving systems
and driving safety systems adjusts itself automati-
cally after the vehicle has been driven a certain
distance. Full system effectiveness is not reached
until the end of this teach-in process.
New or exchanged brakepads, brake discs and
tyres only provide optimal braking and bonding
after several hundred kilometres. Until then, com-
pensate for the reduced braking effect by applying
greater pressure to the brake pedal.

Notes on driving
&
WARNING Risk of accident due to objects
in the driver's footwell
Objects in the driver's footwell may impede
pedal travel or block a depressed pedal.
This jeopardises the operating and road safety
of the vehicle.
#
Stow all objects in the vehicle securely
so that they cannot get into the driver's
footwell.
#
Ensure floor mats and carpets cannot
slip and provide sufficient room for the
pedals.
#
Do not lay multiple floor mats or carpets
on top of one another.
&
WARNING Risk of accident due to incor-
rect footwear
Incorrect footwear includes, for example:
R
shoes with platform soles
R
shoes with high heels
R
slippers
There is a risk of an accident.
#
Always wear suitable footwear so that
you can operate the pedals safely.
&
WARNING Risk of accident if the vehicle is
switched off while driving
If you switch off the vehicle while driving,
safety functions are restricted or no longer
available.
This may affect the power steering system and
the brake force boosting, for example.
You will need to use considerably more force
to steer and brake, for example.
#
Do not switch off the vehicle while driv-
ing.
&
WARNING Risk of skidding and accidents
due to an increased recuperation level on
a slippery carriageway
If the recuperation level is increased on a slip-
pery carriageway, the drive wheels may lose
traction.
Do not increase the recuperation level on a
slippery carriageway.
*
NOTE Damage to the vehicle due to not
observing the maximum permitted head-
room clearance
If the vehicle height is greater than the maxi-
mum permitted headroom clearance, the roof
and other parts of the vehicle may be dam-
aged.
#
Observe the signposted headroom clear-
ance.
#
If the vehicle height is greater than the
permitted headroom clearance, do not
enter.
