Running-in notes
Important safety notes
In certain driving and driving safety systems,
the sensors adjust automatically while a cer-
tain distance is being driven after the vehicle
has been delivered or after repairs. Full sys-
tem effectiveness is not reached until the end
of this teach-in procedure.
Brake pads/linings and discs that are either
new or have been replaced only achieve opti-
mum braking effect after several hundred kil-
ometres of driving. Compensate for the
reduced braking effect by applying greater
force to the brake pedal.
The first 1,500 km
If you treat the engine with sufficient care
from the very start, you will be rewarded with
excellent performance for the remainder of
the engine's life.
R
Drive at varying road speeds and engine
speeds for the first 1,500 km.
R
Avoid overstraining the vehicle during this
period, e.g. driving at full throttle.
R
When changing gears manually, change up
in good time, before the rev counter needle
reaches Ô of the way to the red area of the
rev counter.
R
Do not shift down a gear manually in order
to brake.
R
Try to avoid depressing the accelerator
pedal beyond the point of resistance (kick-
down).
R
All vehicles (except AMG vehicles): drive
the vehicle mainly in drive program E for the
first 1,500 km.
Additional running-in notes for AMG vehicles:
R
Do not drive at speeds above 140 km/h for
the first 1,500 km.
R
Only allow the engine to reach a maximum
engine speed of 4,500 rpm briefly.
R
Drive the vehicle mainly in drive program C
for the first 1,500 km.
After 1,500 km, you may gradually accelerate
the vehicle to full road and engine speeds.
You should also observe these notes on run-
ning-in if the engine or parts of the drive train
on your vehicle have been replaced.
Always observe the applicable speed limit.
Driving
Important safety notes
G WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell may restrict
the clearance around the pedals or block a
depressed pedal. This jeopardises the oper-
ating and road safety of the vehicle. There is a
risk of an accident.
Stow all objects securely in the vehicle so that
they do not get into the driver's footwell.
Always fit the floormats securely and as pre-
scribed in order to ensure that there is always
sufficient room for the pedals. Do not use
loose floormats and do not place several floor-
mats on top of one another.
