Running-in notes
Mercedes-AMG vehicles: observe the notes in
the Supplement. Otherwise, you may fail to rec‐
ognise dangers.
To preserve the engine during the first 1,500 km:
R
drive at varying road speeds and engine
speeds.
R
drive the vehicle in drive program
A
or
;
.
R
change gear before the rev counter needle is
Ô
of the way to the red area of the rev coun‐
ter.
R
do not shift down a gear manually in order to
brake.
R
avoid overstraining the vehicle, e.g. driving at
full throttle.
R
do not depress the accelerator pedal past
the pressure point (kickdown).
R
only increase the engine speed gradually and
accelerate the vehicle to full speed after
1,500 km.
This also applies when the engine or parts of the
drivetrain have been replaced.
Please also observe the following running-in
notes:
R
in certain driving and driving safety systems,
the sensors adjust automatically while a cer‐
tain distance is being driven after the vehicle
has been delivered or after repairs. Full sys‐
tem effectiveness is not reached until the
end of this teach-in process.
R
brakepads, brake discs and tyres that are
either new or have been replaced only ach‐
ieve optimum braking effect and grip after
several hundred kilometres of driving. Com‐
pensate for the reduced braking effect by
applying greater force to the brake pedal.

so that they cannot get into the driver's
footwell.
#
Always fit the floor mats securely and
as prescribed in order to ensure that
there is always sufficient room for the
