This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific, and optional equipment offered with
the series. It also describes features and func-
tions that are not necessarily available in the

functions and systems, the applicable laws
and regulations must be observed.

The following instructions will help you to ach-
ieve a long vehicle life and good efficiency.
During break-in, do not use the Launch Con-
trol.
Safety information
Warning
Due to new parts and components, safety
and driver assistance systems can react with
a delay. There is a risk of accident. After in-
stalling new parts or with a new vehicle, drive
conservatively and intervene early if neces-
sary. Observe the break-in procedures of the
respective parts and components.
Engine, transmission, and axle drive
Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km
Do not exceed the maximum engine and road
speed:
▷ For gasoline engine 4,500 rpm and
100 mph/160 km/h.
Avoid full throttle or kickdown under all circum-
stances.
From 1,200 miles/2,000 km
The engine and vehicle speed can gradually be
increased.
Tires
Tire traction is not optimal due to manufactur-
ing circumstances when tires are brand new.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
Brake system
Brake disks and brake pads must be run in to
avoid possible brake noise. Drive cautiously for
the first approx. 300 miles/500 km.
