DrivingBreaking-in notes

To preserve the engine during the first1,000 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 Only briefly allow the engine to reach a maxi‐

mum engine speed of 4,500 rpm(4,500 rpm).R Mercedes-AMG E 53 4MATIC+: Drive the

vehicle in drive programA or;.R Mercedes‑AMG E 63 4MATIC+ and

Mercedes‑AMG E 63 S 4MATIC+: Drive thevehicle in drive programA.R Change gear before the tachometer needle is

Ô 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 pastthe pressure point (kickdown).R Only increase the engine speed gradually and

accelerate the vehicle to full speed after1,000 miles (1,500 km).

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

the sensors adjust automatically while a cer‐tain distance is being driven after the vehiclehas been delivered or after repairs. Full sys‐tem effectiveness is not reached until theend 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 afterseveral hundred kilometers of driving. Com‐pensate for the reduced braking effect byapplying greater force to the brake pedal.

Notes on the locking differential

After a breaking-in period of 2000 miles(3000 km) the oil on the locking differentialshould be changed in a qualified specialist work‐shop. This oil change prolongs the service life ofthe locking differential.

the circumstances described as follows.

Select SPORT handling mode when the vehicle'sown oversteering and understeering characteris‐tics are desired, for example when driving onspecially designated roads.Only a highly qualified and experienced drivershould drive in SPORT handling mode or withESP® deactivated.

If SPORT handling mode is activated and one ormore wheels start to spin, the ÷ ESP® warn‐ing lamp in the instrument cluster flashes. ESP®then only stabilizes the vehicle to a limiteddegree.If SPORT handling mode is activated: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.

Characteristics when ESP® is deactivated

& WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP® isdeactivated

If you deactivate ESP®, ESP® cannot carryout vehicle stabilization.

# ESP® should only be deactivated in thefollowing situations.

ESP® is deactivated if the å ESP® OFF warn‐ing lamp lights up continuously in the instrumentcluster:R Driving stability will no longer be improved.R Crosswind Assist is no longer active.R The drive wheels could spin.R ETS/4ETS traction control is still active.

% Even when ESP® is deactivated, you are stillassisted by ESP® when braking hard.

In the following situations, it may be better toactivate SPORT handling mode or deactivateESP®:R When using snow chains.R In deep snow.R On sand or gravel.

% Spinning the wheels results in a cuttingaction which provides better grip.


% Activate ESP® as soon as the situationsdescribed above no longer apply. ESP® willotherwise not be able to stabilize the vehicleif the vehicle starts to skid or a wheel startsto spin.

If the ÷ ESP® warning lamp lights up continu‐ously, ESP® is not available due to a malfunction.Observe any information which may be displayedin the instrument cluster:R Warning and indicator lampsR Display messages

Notes on fuel grades for Mercedes-AMG vehi‐clesObserve the information on operating fluids inthe vehicle Operator's Manual.

* NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

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

fuel.

This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol byvolume. Your vehicle is suitable for use withE10 fuel.Never refuel with one of the following fuels:R DieselR Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by

volume, e.g. E15, E85, E100

R Gasoline with more than 3% methanol byvolume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100R Gasoline with additives containing metal

If you have accidentally refueled with thewrong fuel:# Do not switch on the ignition.# 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 recommendedfuel is not available, you may also use unleadedregular gasoline which has at least the octanenumber specified in the instruction label in thefuel filler flap (see the vehicle Operator's Man‐ual).Never refuel using gasoline with an even lowerRON.

* NOTE Premature wear caused by unlea‐ded regular gasoline

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

unleaded regular gasoline and refill assoon as possible with unleaded pre‐mium grade gasoline.

# Do not drive at the maximum speed.# Avoid sudden acceleration and engine

speeds over 3,000 rpm.
