Things to remember when driving
▷ For gasoline engine 4,500 rpm and
Vehicle features and options
100 mph/160 km/h.
Avoid full load or kickdown under all circumstan‐
ces.
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional features offered with the series.
It also describes features that are not necessarily
available in your vehicle, for instance, due to the
selected options or country versions. This also
applies to safety-related functions and systems.
When using these functions and systems, the
applicable laws and regulations must be ob‐
served.
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.
Breaking-in period
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
General information
Moving parts need to begin working together
smoothly.
Brake system
Brake discs and brake pads only reach their full
effectiveness after approx. 300 miles/500 km.
Drive moderately during this break-in period.
The following instructions will help you to ach‐
ieve a long vehicle life and good efficiency.
During break-in, do not use the Launch Control.
Safety information
Following part replacement
The same break-in procedures should be ob‐
served if any of the components mentioned
above have to be renewed in the course of the
vehicle's operating life.
Warning
Due to new parts and components, safety and
driver assistance systems can react with a de‐
lay. There is a risk of accident. After installing
new parts or with a new vehicle, drive conser‐
vatively and intervene early if necessary. Ob‐
serve the break-in procedures of the respective
parts and components.
Using eDRIVE efficiently
Concept
eDRIVE operates automatically. Proactive driving
utilizes energy consumption and energy recovery
optimally. Energy recovery is used to charge the
high-voltage battery. Energy recovery is impor‐
tant for the supply of electrical components and
thus a prerequisite for a long range. Energy con‐
sumption and recovery depend very much,
among other things, on your driving style.
Engine, transmission, and axle drive
Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km
Do not exceed the maximum engine and road
speed:
