Notes on breaking in a new vehicle
The first 1000 miles (1500 km)
The more you look after the engine when it is
new, the happier you will be with its
performance in the future.
R
Drive at varying vehicle speeds and engine
speeds for the first 1000 miles (1500 km)
for this reason.
R
Avoid overstraining the vehicle during this
period, e.g. driving at full throttle.
R
Change gear in good time, at the latest
when the tachometer needle is
2
/
3
of the
way to the red area in the tachometer
display.
R
Do not manually shift to a lower gear to
brake the vehicle.
R
If possible, do not depress the accelerator
pedal past the point of resistance
(kickdown).
R
Only select shift ranges 3, 2 or 1 when
driving slowly, e.g. in mountainous terrain.

Ideally, drive program E (on AMG vehicles:
drive program C) should be selected for
driving the first 1000 miles (1500 km).

gradually bring the vehicle up to full road and
engine speeds.

Important safety notes
G
Warning
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals' range of movement.
Keep the driver's footwell clear of all
obstacles. If there are any floormats or
carpets in the footwell, make sure the pedals
still have sufficient clearance.
During sudden driving or braking maneuvers
the objects could get caught between the
pedals. You could then no longer brake or
accelerate. This could lead to accidents and
injury.
G
Warning
On slippery road surfaces, never downshift in
order to obtain braking action. This could
result in drive wheel slip and reduced vehicle
control. Your vehicle's ABS will not prevent
this type of loss of control.
G
Warning
It is dangerous to shift AUTOTRONIC out of
parking position
P or neutral position N if the
engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your
foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the
vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in
reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle
and hit someone or something. Only shift into
