Running-in notes
To preserve the engine during the first
1,000 miles (1,500 km):
R
drive at varying road speeds and engine
speeds.
R
drive in drive program C or E.

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 running-in
notes:
R
In certain driving and driving safety systems,
the sensors adjust automatically while a cer‐
tain 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
Brake pads, 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.
