Operation

Driving instructions

Driving off

Apply the brakes to test them briefly after

driving off. Perform this procedure only

when the road is clear of other traffic.

Warm up the engine smoothly. Do not

place full load on the engine until the oper-

ating temperature has been reached.

Parking

Warning! G

New vehicle brake pads and discs, and

replacement brake pads and discs may take

several hundred miles of driving until they

provide optimum braking efficiency. Until

that time, you may need to use increased

brake pedal pressure while braking. Please

be aware of this and adjust your driving and

braking accordingly during this break-in

period.

Excessive high demand braking will cause

correspondingly high brake wear. Please be

attentive to the brake warning lamp in the

instrument cluster and brake condition mes-

sages in the multifunction display. Especial-

ly for high performance driving, it is

important to maintain and have the brake

system checked regularly.

When driving off on a slippery surface, do

not allow a drive wheel to spin for an extended

period with the ESP

switched off. Doing so may

cause serious damage to the drivetrain which is

not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited War-

ranty.

Simultaneously depressing the accelerator

pedal and applying the brakes reduces engine

performance and causes premature brake wear

and drivetrain wear.

Warning! G

Do not park this vehicle in areas where com-

bustible materials such as grass, hay or

leaves can come into contact with the hot

exhaust system, as these materials could be

ignited and cause a vehicle fire.

To reduce the risk of personal injury, or

damage to the vehicle drivetrain, as a result

of inadvertent vehicle movement, before

turning off the engine and leaving the vehi-

cle always:

앫 Keep right foot on brake pedal.

앫 Engage electronic parking brake.

앫 Shift the automatic transmission to P.

앫 Slowly release brake pedal.

앫 When parked on an incline, turn front

wheels towards the road curb.
