tom LED blinks red when the fuel level is very
low.
The
fuel tank capacity of your vehicle is listed in
the Technical Data section¢ page 299.
0 Note
Never drive until the tank is completely emp
ty.
The irregular suppl y of fuel that results
from that can cause engine misfi res. Uncom
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys
tem. Th is can cause overheating and damage
to the catalytic converter.

General information
New engine
The engine needs to be run-in during the first
1,000 mi (1,500 km).
For the first 600 mi (1,000 km):
... Do not use full throttle.
... Do not drive at engine speeds that are more
than 2/3 of the maximum permitted RPM.
... Avoid high engine speeds.
From 600 to 1,000 mi (1 ,000 to 1,500 km):
... Speeds can gradually be increased to the maxi
mum permissible road or engine speed.
During and after break-in period
... Do not rev th e engine u p to high speeds when it
is cold. This
applies whether the transmission is
in N
(Neutral) or in gear.
After the break-in period
... Do not exceed maximum engine speed under
any cir cu
mstances .
... Upshift into th e nex t higher gear before reach
ing th e red
area at th e end of the tachometer
sea le r=:> page 8 .
During the firs t few hours of drivi ng, the engine's
interna l fric tion is higher than later when a ll th e
moving parts have been broken in . How well this
break-in process is done depends to a considera
ble extent on the way the vehicle is driven during
the first 1,000 mi (1,500 km).
@Note
Extremely high engine speeds are automati
cally reduced. However, these rpm limits are
programmed for an engine well r un -in, not a
new engine.
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not drive with unnecessarily high engine
speeds -upshi fting early saves fuel, reduces
noise and protects the environment.

·New tires
If your veh icle is runni ng on new tires, d rive par
t icula rly careful for the first 350 m i (500 km) af
ter fitting.
.&. WARNING
-New tires tend to be slippery and must a lso
be "broken-in". Be sure to remember this dur
ing the first 350 m i (500 km). Brake gently .
Avoid following closely behind other vehicles
or other situations that might req uire sudden,
hard braking.
Avoid damaging the vehicle
When you are driv ing on poor roads, or over
cu r
bs, steep ramps, etc., make certain that l ow
l y i
ng parts such as sp oile rs and exhaust system
parts do not bottom out and get damaged.
This is especially true for veh icles with low-s lu ng
c h
assis (sports chassis) * and fully loaded
vehicles .
Driving through water on roads
Note th e following to avo id vehicl e damage when
driv ing thro ugh water, for example on flooded
roads:
- The wat
er must not be any higher than the bot
t
om of the vehicle body.
-
Do not dri ve faster than walking speed.
_&. WARNING
Af te r driving through water or mu d, the brak
ing e
ffect can be reduced due to moisture on
the brake d iscs and brake pads. A few careful
b rake applications should dry off the bra kes.
@Note
Vehicle components such as the engi ne,
transmission, su s pension o r electrica l system
can be severely damaged by driving through
water. ..,.

221 Rear lifting point
.,. Read and heed WARNING¢_&,
.,. locate lifting points ¢ fig. 220 and¢ fig. 221.
.,. Adjust lifting arms of workshop hoist or floor
jack
to match vehicle lifting points.
.,. Insert a rubber pad between the floor jack/
workshop hoist and the lifting points.
The vehicle jack mode*
must be activated so that
the automatic adjustment of the Adaptive Air
Suspension*
does not make it more d ifficult to
raise the vehicle with the floor jack.
If you must lift your vehicle with a f loor jack to
work underneath, be s ure the ve hicle is safely
s
upported on stands i ntended for this purpos e .
Front lifting point
The lifting point is located on the floor pan rein
forcement about at the same level as the jack
mounting point¢ fig. 220. Do not lift the vehi
cle at the vertical sill reinfor cement.

Lifting with vehicle jack
Refer
to¢ page 280 .
..&. WARNING
-To reduce the r isk of serious injury and vehi
cle damage.
-Always lift the vehicle only at the special
workshop
hoist and floor jack lift points il
lustrated ¢fig. 220 and ¢fig. 221.
-Failure to lift the vehicle at these points
could cause
the vehicle to tilt or f all from
a lift ifthere is a change in vehicle weigh t
distribution
and balance. This might hap
pen, for example, when heavy compo
nents such as the engine block or trans
mission are removed.
-
When removing heavy components like
these, anchor vehicle to hoist or add corre
sponding weights to maintain the center of
gravity. Otherwise, the vehicle might tilt or
slip off the hoist, causing serious personal
injury .
CD Note
-Be aware of the following points before lift
ing the vehicle:
- The vehicle
should never be lifted or
jacked up from underneath the engine oil
pan, the transmission housing, the front
or rear axle or the body side members.
This could lead to serious damage.
-To avoid damage to the underbody or
chassis frame, a rubber pad must be in
serted between the floor jack and the lift
points.
- Before driving over a work shop hoist,
check that the vehicle weight does not
exceed the permissible lifting capacity of
the hoist. ..,.
