Running in the car for the first 1500 km (Mercedes-Benz M-Class W163)

The more carefully you treat the engine at the beginning of its operation, the more satisfied you will be with its operation later.

Therefore, for the first 1500 km you should drive at variable speed and engine speed.

Avoid heavy loads during this period (full throttle movements) and high engine speeds (no more than 2/3 of maximum revolutions in each gear).

Shift gears in time!

For cars with automatic transmission (AT), it is advisable not to overcome the point of resistance (kickdown) with the accelerator pedal. Do not manually switch to a lower gear for braking purposes. Set the AT selector lever to the limit shift range positions only at low speeds (on mountain passes).

After the first 1500 km, the driving speed and engine speed can be gradually increased to the maximum values.
