The First 1500 km/1000 Miles
Special Operating Conditions
The more cautiously you treat your
engine during the break-in period, the
more satisfied you will be with its
performance later on. Therefore, drive
your vehicle during the first 1500 km/
1000 miles at moderate vehicle and
engine speeds.
During this period, avoid heavy loads
(full throttle driving) and high RPMs
(no more than
2/3
of maximum
permissible speed in each gear).
Avoid accelerating by kickdown. It is
not recommended to brake the
vehicle by manually shifting to a lower
gear. We recommend to select posi­
tions “ S” or “ L" only at moderate
speeds (for hill driving).
After 1500 km/1000 miles speeds
may gradually be increased to the
permissible maximum.
Winter Driving •
Have your car winterized at an author­
ized MERCEDES-BENZ dealer before
the onset of winter.
• Engine oil change: If “ year-round” *
multigrade engine oil is not used,
be sure to use an SAE grade
based on ambient temperature.
For recommended engine oil vis­
cosities refer to “ Fuels, Coolants,
Lubricants, etc." and last page. •
• For diesel fuels, refer to page 89
and last page.
• Anticorrosion/antifreeze in the
coolant: Check anticorrosion/anti­
freeze protection periodically. For
capacity refer to “ Fuels, Coolants,
Lubricants, etc.".
Additive in the windshield washer
system: Add windshield washer
solvent to the water in the
windshield washer system.
Test battery: Battery capacity
drops with decreasing ambient
temperature. A well charged bat­
tery ensures that the engine can
always be started, even at low
ambient temperatures.
Tires: We recommend M + S
radial tires on all wheels for the
winter season. Observe permissi­
ble maximum speed for M + S
radial tires and the legal speed
limit.
