New vehicle or new parts
New vehicle - Running in the engine
Driving style during the rst 1500 km determines
the quality of the engine run-in process.
▶During the rst 1000 km, rev the engine to max.
3/4 of the highest permissible engine speed and
avoid using a trailer.
▶Over the next 500 km, the engine speed can be
slowly increased.
Depending on driving style and operating conditions,
the engine consumes some oil, up to 0.5 l/1000 km.
Consumption may be higher over the next 5000 km.
New brake pads

refrain from handling open ames or sparks.
▶If you need to work in the engine compartment
with the engine running, be mindful of rotating en-
gine parts and electrical equipment.
▶Do not leave any objects in the engine compart-
ment.
Handling operating uids
Your vehicle uses various operating uids to operate
that can aect health or the environment when they
are emitted. These are fuel, oils, battery acid from
the 12-volt vehicle battery, coolant and brake uid.
▶Only use operating uids outdoors or in well-venti-
lated areas. If required, wear protective equipment.
▶Do not use or check operating uids with the en-
gine running.
▶In the event of contact with operating uids, wash
aected areas with warm water. If required, seek
medical help.
▶The leaked engine oil in the engine compartment
can cause a re, so wipe it o with a cloth.
▶Store cloths soiled by brake uids in a well-ventila-
ted place until disposal. Cloths with residues of en-
gine oil can ignite and cause a re.
12 volt vehicle battery
Handling the 12-volt vehicle battery
The battery acid of the 12-volt vehicle battery is
very caustic. Improper handling of the 12 volt vehicle
battery can cause an explosion, re, chemical burns
or poisoning!
