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 59, 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 79, 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:

1. Coupe: close both windows.

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 96.
