speeds. Running a cold engine at high engine 
speeds may shorten the service life of the 
engine.
R 63 AMG: 
At engine temperatures below 68°F (20°C), the 
engine’s maximum speed is restricted in order to 
protect it from damage. Avoid driving your 
vehicle at full speed when the engine is cold to 
prevent premature engine wear and/or 
diminished comfort.
!
Simultaneously depressing the accelerator 
pedal and applying the brake reduces engine 
performance and causes premature brake and 
drivetrain wear.
