driving at varying road and engine speeds.
shifting to the next gear up when or before the rev counter needle is
of the way to the red area. avoiding stress on the vehicle such as driving at full throttle.
not shifting manually to a lower gear to brake.
after 1,500 km, gradually increasing the engine speed and accelerate the vehicle up to full speed.
vehicles with automatic transmission: not depressing the accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point (kickdown).
This also applies if the engine or parts of the drivetrain have been replaced.
The sensors of the ESP® driving safety system adjust automatically while a certain distance is being driven after the vehicle has been delivered or after repairs. Full system effectiveness is not reached until the end of this teach-in process.
New or exchanged brakepads, brake discs and tyres only provide optimal braking and bonding after several hundred kilometres. Until then, compensate for the reduced braking effect by applying greater pressure to the brake pedal.
