General information
Moving parts need time to adjust to one another (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.
Engine, transmission, and axle drive
Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km Do not exceed the maximum engine and road speed:
Avoid full load or kickdown under all circumstances.
From 1,200 miles/2,000 km The engine and vehicle speed can gradually be increased.
Tires
Tire traction is not optimal due to manufacturing 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 approx.
300 miles/500 km to achieve optimal performance between brake discs and brake pads. Drive moderately during this break-in period.
Following part replacement
The same break-in procedures should be observed if any of the components above-mentioned have to be renewed in the course of the vehicle's operating life.
