Breaking-in notes
Mercedes-AMG vehicles: observe the notes in
the Supplement. Otherwise, you may fail to rec‐
ognize dangers.
To preserve the engine during the first
1,000 miles (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 tachometer needle is
Ô of the way to the red area of the tachome‐
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
1,000 miles (1,500 km).
This also applies when the engine or parts of the
drivetrain have been replaced.
Please also observe the following breaking-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.
R
brakepads, brake discs and tires that are
either new or have been replaced only ach‐
ieve optimum braking effect and grip after
several hundred kilometers of driving. Com‐
pensate for the reduced braking effect by
applying greater force to the brake pedal.
