Breaking Period 2022 S580
Just took delivery of my 2022 S580. Any suggestions as to initial driving characteristics or just let her rip?

The list below is for a 2021 GLE but should also be applicable to your S-Class.

For the first 1,500km (1,000 miles)
  • Drive at varying road speeds and engine speeds
  • Do not drive over 85 miles-per-hour
  • Allow the engine to reach a maximum engine speed of 4,500 rpm only briefly
  • Drive the vehicle in drive program “C”
  • Change the gear before the tachometer reaches 2/3 of the way to the red area of the tachometer
  • Do not shift down a gear manually in order to brake
  • Avoid overstraining the vehicle (for example, driving at full throttle)
  • Don’t depress the accelerator pedal past the pressure point (kickdown)
  • Only increase the engine speed gradually and accelerate the vehicle to full speed after 1,000 miles
