ognise dangers.
To preserve the engine during the first 1,500 km:

Please also observe the following running-in
notes:
R
in certain driving and driving safety systems,
the sensor system adjusts automatically
while a certain distance is driven after the
vehicle has been delivered or after repairs.
Full system effectiveness is not achieved
until the end of this teach-in process.

several hundred kilometres of driving. Com‐
pensate for the reduced braking effect by
applying greater force to the brake pedal.
