Operation
In the “Operation” section you will find de-
tailed information on operating, maintain-
ing and caring for your vehicle. 
The first 1000 miles (1500 km)
The more cautiously you treat your vehicle 
during the break-in period, the more satis-
fied you will be with its performance later 
on. 
Drive your vehicle during the first 
1000 miles (1500 km) at varying but 
moderate vehicle and engine speeds. 
During this period, avoid heavy loads 
(full throttle driving) and excessive en-
gine speeds (no more than 
2
/
3
 of max-
imum rpm in each gear). 
Avoid accelerating by kickdown.
Do not attempt to slow the vehicle 
down by shifting to a lower gear using 
the gear selector lever.
Select positions 32 or 1 only when 
driving at moderate speeds (for hill 
driving). 
Select  C as the preferred shift program 
(
page 169) for the first 1000 miles 
(1500 km).
After 1000 miles (1500 km), you may 
gradually increase vehicle and engine 
speeds to the permissible maximum. 
All of the above instructions, as may apply 
to your vehicle type, also apply when driv-
ing the first 1000 miles (1500 km) after 
the engine or the rear differential has been 
replaced.
!
Additional instructions for AMG vehicles:
During the first 1000 miles (1500 km), do 
not exceed a speed of 85 mph (140 km/h).
During this period, avoid engine speeds 
above 4500 rpm (SL 55 AMG) or 4000 rpm 
(SL 65 AMG) in each gear.
i
Always obey applicable speed limits.
