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)
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
