DrivingBreaking-in notes

To preserve the engine during the first1,000 miles (1,500 km):R drive at varying road speeds and engine

speeds.R do not drive faster than 85 mph (140 km/h).R allow the engine to reach a maximum engine

speed of 4,500 rpm (4,500 rpm) only briefly.R drive the vehicle in drive programA.R change gear before the tachometer needle is

Ô of the way to the red area of the tachome‐ter.R do not shift down a gear manually in order to

brake.R avoid overstraining the vehicle, e.g. driving at

full throttle.R do not depress the accelerator pedal past

the pressure point (kickdown).R only increase the engine speed gradually and

accelerate the vehicle to full speed after1,000 miles (1,500 km).

This also applies when the engine or parts of thedrivetrain have been replaced.Please also observe the following breaking-innotes:R In certain driving and driving safety systems,

the sensors adjust automatically while a cer‐tain distance is being driven after the vehiclehas been delivered or after repairs. Full sys‐tem effectiveness is not reached until theend of this teach-in process.R Brakepads, brake discs and tires that are

either new or have been replaced only ach‐ieve optimum braking effect and grip afterseveral hundred kilometers of driving. Com‐pensate for the reduced braking effect byapplying greater force to the brake pedal.

Operating fluidsFuel

Notes on fuel grades for Mercedes-AMG vehi‐clesObserve the information on operating fluids inthe vehicle Operator's Manual.

* NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

Even small amounts of the wrong fuel couldresult in damage to the fuel system, theengine and the emission control system.# Only refuel with low-sulfur unleaded

fuel.

This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol byvolume. Your vehicle is suitable for use withE10 fuel.Never refuel with one of the following fuels:R DieselR Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by

volume, e.g. E15, E85, E100

R Gasoline with more than 3% methanol byvolume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100R Gasoline with additives containing metal

If you have accidentally refueled with thewrong fuel:# Do not switch the ignition on.# Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

If the available fuel is not sufficiently low in sul‐fur, this can produce unpleasant odors.Only refuel using unleaded premium grade gaso‐line with at least 91 AKI/95 RON.As a temporary measure, if the recommendedfuel is not available, you may also use unleadedregular gasoline which has at least the octanenumber specified in the information label in thefuel filler flap (see the vehicle Operator's Man‐ual).Never refuel using gasoline with an even lowerRON.

* NOTE Premature wear through unleadedregular gasoline

Unleaded regular gasoline can cause theengine to wear more quickly and impair lon‐gevity and performance.If unleaded premium grade gasoline isunavailable and you have to refuel usingunleaded regular gasoline:# Only fill the fuel tank to half full with

unleaded regular gasoline and refill assoon as possible with unleaded pre‐mium grade gasoline.

# Do not drive at the maximum designspeed.

# Avoid sudden acceleration enginespeeds over 3000 rpm.
