Things to remember when driving

Breaking-in

Moving parts need time to adjust to one

another. To ensure that your vehicle continues

to provide optimized economy of operation

throughout an extended service life, we request

that you devote careful attention to the follow-

ing section.

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 4,500 rpm or 100 mph/

160 km/h.

Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the

transmission's kick-down mode during these

initial miles.

From 1,200 miles/2,000 km

The engine and vehicle speed can gradually be

increased.

SMG Sequential Manual Transmission

Do not use the acceleration assistant during the

break-in period, refer to page 65.

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. 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

Closing luggage compartment lid

Only drive with the luggage compartment

lid completely closed, otherwise exhaust

can penetrate into the passenger compart-

ment.<

If special circumstances should make it abso-

lutely necessary to operate the vehicle with the

luggage compartment lid open:

1. Coupe: close both windows and the glass

sunroof.

Convertible: with closed top, close all win-

dows.

2. Increase the air volume of the automatic cli-

mate control to a high level, refer to

page 108.

Hot exhaust system

As in all vehicles, extremely high temper-

atures are generated in the exhaust sys-

tem. Do not remove the heat shields installed

adjacent to it, and never apply undercoating to

them. When driving, standing at idle and while

parking, take care to avoid possible contact

between the hot exhaust system and any highly

flammable materials such as hay, leaves, grass,

etc. Such contact could lead to a fire, and with it

the risk of serious property damage as well as

personal injury. Do not touch hot exhaust tail

pipes. Otherwise there is a risk of burns.<
