General notes 9

Driving Breaking-in notes

To preserve the engine during the first 1,000 miles (1,500 km): R drive at varying road speeds and engine

speeds. R do not drive faster than 85 mph (140 km/h). R allow the engine to reach a maximum engine

speed of 4,500 rpm (4,500 rpm) only briefly. R drive the vehicle in drive programA. R change gear before the tachometer needle is

of the way to the red area of the tachome ter. R do not shift down a gear manually in order to

brake. R avoid overstraining the vehicle, e.g. driving at

full throttle. R do not depress the accelerator pedal past

the pressure point (kickdown). R only increase the engine speed gradually and

accelerate the vehicle to full speed after 1,000 miles (1,500 km).

This also applies when the engine or parts of the drivetrain have been replaced. Please also observe the following breaking-in notes: R In certain driving and driving safety systems,

the sensors adjust automatically while a cer tain distance is being driven after the vehicle has been delivered or after repairs. Full sys tem effectiveness is not reached until the end of this teach-in process. R Brakepads, brake discs and tires that are

either new or have been replaced only ach ieve optimum braking effect and grip after several hundred kilometers of driving. Com pensate for the reduced braking effect by applying greater force to the brake pedal.

Function of Emotion Start

# Start the vehicle with the start/stop button and simultaneously pull one of steering wheel gearshift paddles1 or2. R The idle speed is increased briefly when

starting the engine. R The exhaust gas flaps are opened (sporty

characteristic) (/ page 11).

Observe the notes on starting the vehicle in the vehicle Operator's Manual.

10 Driving and parking

mission positionh ori.

If you switch on the HOLD function in transmis sion positionh ori, the engine will automati cally stop in the following situations: R You stop behind a vehicle that is pulling

away. R You stop at a stop sign when there is no vehi

cle in front of you. R You turn the steering wheel hard at a low

speed.

% In transmission positionk, the engine is not switched off automatically even when the HOLD function is switched on.

The engine is restarted automatically if: R You release the brake pedal in transmission

positionh when the HOLD function is not

active and the vehicle does not start to move. R You shift from transmission positionj. R You release the brake pedal and the vehicle

starts to move on a gentle downhill gradient at a speed below 3 mph (5 km/h). R You depress the accelerator pedal. R You permanently activate manual gearshift

ing. R You pull the left-hand steering wheel gear

shift paddle. R An automatic engine start is necessary.

function display.

Glide mode is activated if the following condi tions are met: R The ECO start/stop function is activated. R Drive program= is selected with the

drive setting "Moderate" or "Reduced". R The speed is within a suitable range. R The road's course is suitable, e.g. no steep

uphill or downhill inclines or tight bends. R The charge level of the battery is sufficient. R You are no longer depressing the accelerator

or brake pedal.

Glide mode is deactivated again if one of the conditions is no longer met. When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is active, glide mode is restricted.

14 Driving and parking

Driving and driving safety systems Functions of ESP (Electronic Stability Pro gram)

& WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP is malfunctioning

If ESP is malfunctioning, ESP cannot carry out vehicle stabilization. In addition, other driving safety systems are switched off. # Drive on carefully. # Have ESP checked at a qualified spe

cialist workshop.

You can select between the following modes of ESP: R ESP ON R ESP SPORT R ESP OFF

Characteristics when ESP is activated

ESP monitors and improves driving stability and traction, particularly in the following situations: R When pulling away on wet or slippery road

ways. R When braking. R In strong side winds when you are driving

faster than 47 mph (75 km/h).

ESP can stabilize the vehicle by intervening in the following ways: R One or more wheels are braked. R The engine output is adapted according to

the situation.

ESP is activated every time the engine is star ted regardless of whether ESP was in ESP SPORT or deactivated before the engine was switched off.

If the ESP warning lamp flashes in the instrument cluster, one or several vehicle wheels has reached its grip limit: R Adapt the driving style to suit the prevailing

road and weather conditions. R Do not deactivate ESP under any circum

stances. R Only depress the accelerator pedal as far as

is necessary.

Characteristics when ESP SPORT is activa ted

& WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP SPORT is used incorrectly

When you activate ESP SPORT, there is an increased risk of skidding and having an acci dent. # Activate ESP SPORT only in the cir

cumstances described below.

Select ESP SPORT when the vehicle's own oversteering and understeering characteristics are desired, e.g. on designated roads.

Driving and parking 15

Driving with ESP SPORT or with ESP deactiva ted requires an extremely qualified and experi enced driver.

If ESP SPORT is activated and one or more wheels start to spin, the ESP warning lamp on the instrument cluster flashes. ESP then only stabilizes the vehicle to a limited degree.

ESP SPORT also has the following characteris tics: R ESP only improves driving stability to a limi

ted degree. R ETS/4ETS traction control is still active. R The engine's torque is only restricted to a

limited degree and the drive wheels can spin. The spinning of the wheels results in a cut ting action for better traction on loose surfa ces. R ESP continues to provide assistance when

the brakes are firmly applied. R Crosswind Assist is no longer active.

Characteristics when ESP is deactivated

& WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP is deactivated

If you deactivate ESP, ESP cannot carry out vehicle stabilization. # ESP should only be deactivated in the

following situations.

When ESP is deactivated, the ESP OFF warning lamp and the ESP OFF message light up continuously in the instrument cluster.

Deactivating ESP has the following effects: R Driving stability will no longer be improved. R The drive wheels could spin. R ETS/4ETS traction control is still active. R Crosswind Assist is no longer active.

% Even when ESP is deactivated, you are still assisted by ESP when braking hard.

It may be best to activate ESP SPORT or deacti vate ESP in the following situations: R When using snow chains. R In deep snow. R On sand or gravel.

% Spinning the wheels results in a cutting action, which enhances traction.

% Activate ESP as soon as the situations described above no longer apply. ESP will otherwise not be able to stabilize the vehicle if the vehicle starts to skid or a wheel starts to spin.

If the ESP warning lamp lights up continu ously even when ESP is activated, ESP is not available due to a malfunction. Observe any information which may be displayed in the instrument cluster: R Warning and indicator lamps R Display messages

ETS/4ETS (Electronic Traction System) ETS/4ETS traction control is part of ESP.

16 Driving and parking

ETS/4ETS can improve the vehicle's traction by intervening in the following ways: R The drive wheels are braked individually if

they spin. R More drive torque is transferred to the wheel

or wheels with traction.

Activating/deactivating ESP (Electronic Sta bility Program)

# To activate ESP SPORT: briefly press but ton1. The and warning lamps appear in the instrument cluster.

# To deactivate ESP SPORT: briefly press button1. The and warning lamps in the instrument cluster go out.

AMG TRACK PACE General information

With AMG TRACK PACE, the driving characteris tics on race tracks can be analyzed and opti mized. You can drive previously stored race tracks (e.g. Hockenheimring), or new tracks can be recorded and stored. The driven lap times are stored for every track. These can be analyzed and compared to other lap times to achieve the best possible race results. Additionally, accelera tion and braking procedures can be measured and stored. Please note: Use AMG TRACK PACE only on closed-off routes outside the public traffic area. Adapt your driving style to your personal abilities and the environmental conditions. As the driver, you are solely responsible for driving your vehi cle. Park your vehicle safely before operating the application.

& WARNING Risk of accident caused by non-approved tire types

If you use tire types that have not been adap ted to changes made to the factory speed limit, this can have the following consequen ces: R The tires do not exhibit the required qual

ity characteristics and are not suitable for high speeds or the relevant driving dynamics. R The tires wear unevenly and could, there

fore, affect the roadworthiness of the vehicle. R ABS, ESP and cruise control operation

are restricted.

This can jeopardize road safety. # Only use tire types that have been

approved for the maximum road speed set and the vehicle.

Cover of jack support points # Be sure to also observe the notes on chang

ing a wheel in the Operator's Manual of your vehicle.

To protect the vehicle body, the vehicle has cov ers installed next to the jack support points on the longitudinal member panels.

Cover of jack support points

& WARNING Risk of injury from incorrect positioning of the jack

If you do not position the jack correctly at the appropriate jacking point of the vehicle, the jack could tip with the vehicle raised. # Only position the jack at the appropri

ate jacking point of the vehicle. The base of the jack must be positioned vertically under the jacking point of the vehicle.

* NOTE Vehicle damage from the jack

If you do not position the jack correctly at the appropriate jack support point of the vehicle, the jack could tip over with the vehi cle raised. # The jack is designed exclusively for

jacking up the vehicle at the jack sup port points.

Operating fluids Fuel

Information on fuel grades for Mercedes- AMG vehicles Observe the information on operating fluids in the vehicle Operator's Manual.

* NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system, the engine and the emission control system. # Only refuel with low-sulfur unleaded

fuel.

This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol by volume. Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel. Never refuel with one of the following fuels: R Diesel R Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by

volume, e.g. E15, E85, E100

R Gasoline with more than 3% methanol by volume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100 R Gasoline with additives containing metal

If you have accidentally refueled with the wrong fuel: # Do not switch the ignition on. # Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

If the available fuel is not sufficiently low in sul fur, this can produce unpleasant odors. Only refuel using unleaded premium grade gaso line with at least 91 AKI/95 RON. As a temporary measure, if the recommended fuel is not available, you may also use unleaded regular gasoline which has at least the octane number specified in the information label in the fuel filler flap (see the vehicle Operator's Man ual). Never refuel using gasoline with an even lower RON.

* NOTE Premature wear through unleaded regular gasoline

Unleaded regular gasoline can cause the engine to wear more quickly and impair lon gevity and performance. If unleaded premium grade gasoline is unavailable and you have to refuel using unleaded regular gasoline: # Only fill the fuel tank to half full with

unleaded regular gasoline and fill up as soon as possible with unleaded pre mium grade gasoline.

# Do not drive at the maximum design speed.

# Avoid sudden acceleration and engine speeds over 3000 rpm.
