Operation
Driving instructions
After hard braking, it is advisable to
drive on for some time, rather than im-
mediately parking, so that the air stream
can cool down the brakes faster.
Apply the brakes to test them briefly af-
ter driving off. Perform this procedure
only when the road is clear of other traf-
fic.
Warm up the engine smoothly. Do not
place full load on the engine until the
operating temperature has been
reached.
When starting off on a slippery surface,
do not allow a drive wheel to spin for an
extended period with the ESP switched
off. Doing so may cause serious damage
to the drivetrain which is not covered by
the Maybach Limited Warranty.
Driving off
i
Simultaneously depressing the accel-
erator pedal and applying the brake
reduces engine performance and
causes premature brake and drive-
train wear.
