Things to remember when driving
Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, coun-
try-specific and optional equipment offered
with the series. It also describes features
and functions that are not necessarily avail-
able in the vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This also ap-
plies to safety-related functions and sys-
tems. When using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and regulations
must be observed.
Break-in procedures
General information
Moving parts need to work together
smoothly.
The following instructions will help you to
achieve a long vehicle life and good effi-
ciency.
During break-in, do not use the Launch
Control, refer to page 120.
Safety information
Warning
Due to new parts and components, safety
and driver assistance systems can react
with a delay. There is a risk of accident.
After installing new parts or with a new
vehicle, drive conservatively and inter-
vene early if necessary. Observe the break-
in procedures of the respective parts and
components.
