Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with
the series. It also describes features and
functions that are not necessarily available
in your vehicle, e.g., due to the selected op-
tions or country versions. This also applies
to safety-related functions and systems.
When using these functions and systems,
the applicable laws and regulations must be
observed.
Break-in
General information
Moving parts need to begin working to-
gether smoothly.
The following instructions will help you to
achieve a long vehicle life and good effi-
ciency.
Safety information
Warning
Due to new parts and components, safety
and driver assistance systems can react
with a delay. There is a risk of accident.
After installing new parts or with a new
vehicle, drive conservatively and inter-
vene early if necessary. Observe the break-
in procedures of the respective parts and
components.
Engine, transmission, and axle
drive
Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km
Do not exceed the maximum engine and
road speed:
– For gasoline engine 4,500 rpm and
100 mph/160 km/h.
Avoid full throttle or kickdown under all cir-
cumstances.
From 1,200 miles/2,000 km
The engine and vehicle speed can gradually
be increased.
Tires
Tire traction is not optimal due to manufac-
turing circumstances when tires are brand-
new; they achieve their full traction poten-
tial after a break-in time.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
Brake system
Brake disks and brake pads only reach their
full effectiveness after ap-
prox. 300 miles/500 km. Drive moderately
during this break-in period.
Following part replacement
The same break-in procedures should be ob-
served if any of the components mentioned
above have to be renewed in the course of
driving.
