The following notes will help to maximise the
vehicle's lifetime and efficiency.
Safety information
WARNING
New parts and components can cause safety
and driver assistance systems to respond
with a delay. There is a risk of accident. After
new parts have been installed or if the vehi-
cle is new, drive moderately and take action
promptly if necessary. Please comply with
running-in procedures for the corresponding
parts and components.
Engine, transmission and
differential
Up to 2000 km, 1200 miles
Do not exceed the maximum rotational speed
and vehicle speed:
▷
With petrol engines, 4500 rpm and
160 km/h, 100 mph.
▷ With diesel engine, 3500 rpm and
150 km/h, 93 mph.
Generally avoid kickdown and driving under full
load.
From 2000 km, 1200 miles onwards
Rotational speed and vehicle speed can be
gradually increased.
Tyres
Due to the manufacturing process, new tyres
do not achieve their full road grip immediately.
Drive moderately for the first 300 km,
200 miles.
Brake system
Brake discs and pads only achieve their full
effectiveness after approximately 500 km,
300 miles. Drive moderately during this run-
ning-in period.

Please comply with the running-in procedures
again if the components previously referred to
are renewed.
