Race track operation
Information on racetrack operation
%
Racetrack operation is understood as the
operation of the vehicle in extreme situa‐
tions when it is used on race tracks or
closed-off tracks.
Your vehicle may be used on both public roads
and race tracks. The vehicle operating loads dif‐
fer depending on use, which require differing
maintenance intervals.
When the vehicle is operated on a racetrack, the
component parts are subject to higher loads
than on the road.
To account for these loads, the following meas‐
ures in particular are taken as part of the main‐
tenance intervals:
R
Checking and replacing individual compo‐
nents
R
Overhauling complete assemblies after spe‐
cific periods of use
Additional checks must always be carried out on
the vehicle before and after each use on a race‐
track.

NOTE Damage to component parts
through a rise in temperature after oper‐
ation on a racetrack
Switching the vehicle off directly after opera‐
tion on a racetrack can lead to a continued
temperature increase of the component
parts as a result of heating while the vehicle
is stationary.
The component parts may thereby be perma‐
nently damaged in exceptional cases.
#
Do not switch off the vehicle immedi‐
ately. Carry out cool down laps at low
speed with minimal brake application.
Assemblies under strain, such as the
engine and the braking system, cool
down faster this way.
#
Always allow a Track-Check to be car‐
ried out at an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center before and after use on the
racetrack.
Motorsport equipment, e.g. six-point seat belts,
are only intended for use where road traffic reg‐
ulations do not apply. This also applies to modifi‐
cations to both the suspension and aerodynamic
component parts.
You can obtain further information on servicing
your vehicle from an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
Notes on the characteristics of individual
vehicle assemblies
Due to specific vehicle operating loads in race‐
track operation, additional requirements must
be observed.
The following vehicle assemblies are affected in
particular:
R
Brake system
R
Wheels and tires
R
Suspension
R
Aerodynamic components
