Things to remember when driving

Break-in period

Moving parts need breaking-in time to adjust to
each other. To ensure that your vehicle contin-
ues to provide optimized economy of operation
throughout an extended service life, we request
that you devote careful attention to the follow-
ing section.
Do not use the driving programs 5 and 6, refer
to Drivelogic on page

, during break-in.

Engine and differential

Always obey all official speed limits.

Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km

Drive at changing engine and driving speeds,
however do not exceed 5,500 rpm or 105 mph/
170 km/h.
Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the
transmission's kickdown mode during these
initial miles.

From 1,200 miles/2,000 km to
3,000 miles/5,000 km

The engine and driving speed can gradually be
increased up to a continuous vehicle speed of
135 mph/220 km/h. Only drive at top speed
briefly, e.g. when passing.

Transmission

The function of the transmission is only at its
optimized level after driving a distance of
approx. 300 miles/500 km. Do not exceed
engine speeds of 5,500 rpm during this time.

Tires

Due to technical factors associated with their
manufacture, tires do not achieve their full trac-
tion potential until after an initial break-in
period. Therefore, drive reservedly during the
first 200 miles/300 km.

Brake system

Brakes require an initial break-in period of
approx. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimized
contact and wear patterns between brake pads
and rotors. Drive in a reserved manner during
this break-in period.

Clutch

The function of the clutch is only at its opti-
mized level after a distance driven of approx.
300 miles/500 km. With manual transmission:
During this break-in period, engage the clutch
gently.

Following part replacement

Observe the break-in instructions again if com-
ponents mentioned above must be replaced
after subsequent driving operation.

General driving notes

Ground clearance

Make sure that sufficient ground clear-
ance is available. To drive down curbs,

select the "Sport" program of the EDC Elec-
tronic Damping Control, refer to page

, to

keep the ground clearance as uniform as possi-
ble. Otherwise the vehicle may be damaged.

Closing luggage compartment lid

Only drive with the luggage compartment
lid completely closed, otherwise exhaust

can penetrate into the passenger compart-
ment.

If it is absolutely necessary to drive with the lug-
gage compartment lid open:

Coupe: close both windows.
Convertible: with closed top, close all win-
dows.

Increase the air volume of the automatic cli-
mate control to a high level, refer to
