Break-in procedures
General information
Moving parts need to work together smoothly.
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 600 miles/1,000 km
Drive at varying engine and road speeds,
but do not exceed 5000 rpm and
106 mph/170 km/h.
Avoid full throttle or kickdown under all circum-
stances.
Use hybrid mode, i.e., drive alternating be-
tween the combustion engine and electric mo-
tor.
From 600 miles/1,000 km to
1,200 miles/2,000 km
Drive at varying engine and road speeds,
but do not exceed 6000 rpm and
130 mph/210 km/h.
Avoid full load in gears 1 to 3.
At 1,200 miles/2,000 km
Have break-in service maintenance performed.
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.
Following part replacement
Observe the break-in procedures again if com-
ponents mentioned above are replaced.
Driving on poor roads
Principle
Because of its greater ground clearance, the
vehicle can be driven on a variety of road types
and qualities.
All-wheel drive can help improve drive power.
