driving at varying road and engine speeds.
Shift to the next higher gear at the very latest when the needle reaches the last third before the red area in the rev counter.
avoiding stress on the vehicle such as driving at full throttle.
not shifting manually to a lower gear to brake.
only after
1,500 km , gradually increasing the engine speed and accelerating the vehicle up to full speed.Vehicles with automatic transmission: Do not depress the accelerator pedal past the pressure point (kickdown).
This also applies if the engine or parts of the drivetrain have been replaced.
In certain driving and driving safety systems, the sensors adjust automatically over a specified distance driven following vehicle delivery or after repairs. Full system effectiveness is not reached until the end of this teach-in process.
New or replaced brake pads, brake disks and tyres will provide optimal braking and grip only after several hundred kilometres. Until then, compensate for the reduced braking effect by applying greater pressure to the brake pedal.
