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.
Drive system
Drive restrained for the first 300 miles/500 km

ing circumstances when tires are brand new.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.

Brake disks and brake pads must be run in to
avoid possible brake noise. Drive cautiously for
the first approx. 300 miles/500 km.
