Breaking-in period General information
Moving parts need time to adjust to one an‐ other (break-in time).
The following instructions will help accomplish a long vehicle life and good efficiency.
During break-in, do not use the Launch Control, refer to page 61.
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 load 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; they achieve their full traction potential after a break-in time.
Drive conservatively for the first 200 miles/300 km.
Brake system
Brakes require an initial break-in period of ap‐ prox. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimal per‐ formance between brake discs and brake pads. Drive moderately during this break-in period.
Clutch
The function of the clutch reaches its optimal level only after a distance driven of approx. 300 miles/500 km. During this break-in period, engage the clutch gently.
Following part replacement
The same break-in procedures should be ob‐ served if any of the components above-men‐ tioned have to be renewed in the course of the vehicle's operating life.
