R brakepads, brake discs and tyres that are
either new or ha vebeen replaced only ach‐

s on optimised acceleration If all necessary
requ irements and activation con‐
ditions are fulfilled, the best possible accelera‐
tion can be achie ved from a standstill.
Do not use the optimised acceleration on public
ro ads. Individual wheels could spin and you
could lose control of theve hicle. There is an
increased risk of skidding and/or accident.
Be sure toobser vethe saf ety no tes and informa‐
tion on ESP ®

WARNING Risk of skidding and having
an accident from wheels spinning
When you use optimised acceleration, indi‐
vidual wheels could spin and you could lose
cont rol of theve hicle.
If ESP ®
is deactivated, there is a risk of skid‐
ding and accident! #
Make sure that no persons or obstacles
are in the close vicinity of your vehicle. Re
quirements:
R theve hicle has been run in (/ page 177).
R theve hicle and tyres are in good condition.
R you are on a high-g rip ro adw ay.
R the engine and transmission are at normal
operating temp erature.

TEIncreased wear due tooptimised
acceleration When pulling
away with optimised accelera‐
tion, all components of the driv etra in are
subjected toave ry high load.
This can lead toinc reased component wear. #
Do not alw ays pull away with optimised
acceleration. #

Have the cause rectified immediately at
a qu alified specialist workshop. Plug-in
hybrid: obser vethe no tes in the Supple‐
ment. You could otherwise failto recognise dan‐
ge rs.
Note s on driving on salt-treated roads
The braking ef fect is limited on salt-trea ted
ro ads.
Therefore, obse rveth efo llowing no tes:
R due tosalt build-up on the brake disks and
brakepads, the braking dis tance can increase
considerab lyor result in braking only on one
side R
maintain a much greater safe dis tance tothe
ve hicle in front
To remo vesalt build-up:
R brake occasionally while paying attention to
th e tra ffic conditions
R carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
of the journey and when starting the next
journey
Note s on aquaplaning
Aq uaplaning can take place once a cer tain
amount of water has accumulated on thero ad
sur face.
Obser vethefo llowing no tes during heavy precip‐
itation or in conditions in which aquaplaning may
occur:
R reduce speed
R avoid tyre ruts
R avoid sudden steering mo vements
R brake carefully
% Also obser vethe no tes on regular lych ecking
wheels and tyres (/ page 556). Note
s on driving through water on the road
sur face
Wa ter which has entered into theve hicle can
damage the engine, electrics and transmission.
Wa ter can also enter the air intake of the engine
and cause engine damage.
Obser vethefo llowing if you must drive thro ugh
wate r:
R obser vethe maximum permissible ford ing
dep th (/ page 628)
R drive at walking pace at most, otherwise
wate r can enter theve hicle interior or engine
compartment
R vehicles tr avelling in front, or oncoming vehi‐
cles, can create waves which may exceed the
maximum permissible height of thewater
The braking ef fect of the brakes is reduced af ter
fo rd ing. Brake carefully while paying attention to
th e tra ffic conditions until braking po wer has
been fully restored. Driving and parking

R Do not stop in thewate r and do not switch
off the engine. Ensure the ECO start/ stop
function is switched off (/ page187).
Driving in mountainous terrain
Also obser vethefo llowing information when
driving in moun tainous terrain:
R Obse rveth eva lues of the approach/depar‐
ture angle and of the maximum gradient
(/ page 628).
R Avoid high engine speeds.
R Use the braking po wer of the engine when
driving downhill.
R Shift toa lo werge ar on uphill gradients and
on long, steep downhill gradients.
R Activate DSR be fore driving downhill, if nec‐
essary (/ page 230).
Checklist af ter driving off-road
Driving off-road places grea ter demands on your
ve hicle than driving on no rmalroads. Check the
entire vehicle for dama geand fore ign bodies eve

windscreen or wiper blades. &
WARNING Risk of bu rns from theta il‐
pipe and tailpipe trims
The exhaust tailpipe and tailpipe trims can
become very hot. If you come into contact with
these parts of theve hicle, you could
burn yourself. #
Alw ays be particular lycareful around
th eta ilpipe and theta ilpipe trims and
supervise children especially closely in
th is area. #
Allow vehicle parts tocool down before
to uching them. Obser

s on cleaning and car eA voiding vehicle damage
Wheels/rims Usewate r and acid-free wheel cleaners. R
Do not use acidic wheel cleaners toremo vebrake dust.
This could damage wheel bolts and brake components.
R Toavoid cor rosion of the brake discs and brakepads, drive
th eve hicle for a few minutes af ter cleaning before parking
it. The brake discs and brakepads warm up and dry out.
