General notes

Operator's Manual

This Supplement provides information on all the important functions of your AMG vehicle that are either not described or differ from the descrip‐ tions in the vehicle Operator's Manual. This information supplements or replaces the corre‐ sponding sections in the vehicle Operator's Man‐ ual. Under no circumstances does the Supple‐ ment replace the Operator's Manual.

This Supplement describes all models, and standard and optional equipment for your vehi‐ cle, as available at the time of going to press. Country-specific differences are possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not feature all functions described here. This is also the case for systems and functions relevant to safety. Therefore, the equipment on your vehicle may differ from that in the descriptions and illustra‐ tions.

The original purchase contract documentation for your vehicle contains a list of all of the sys‐ tems in your vehicle.

Should you have any questions concerning equipment and operation, please consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

The Operator's Manual, the Supplement and the Maintenance Booklet are important documents and should be kept in the vehicle.

Operating safety

WARNING Risk of accident due to mal‐ functions or system failures

If you do not have the prescribed service/ maintenance work or any required repairs carried out, this could result in malfunctions or system failures.

Always have the prescribed service/ maintenance work as well any required repairs carried out at a qualified spe‐ cialist workshop.

WARNING Risk of accident or injury due to incorrect modifications on electronic component parts

Modification of electronic components, their software or wiring could impair their function and/or the function of other networked com‐ ponent parts. In particular, systems relevant to safety could also be affected.

As a result, these may no longer function properly and/or jeopardize the operating safety of the vehicle.

Never tamper with the wiring and elec‐ tronic component parts or their soft‐ ware.

You should have all work on electrical and electronic components carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

Observe the "On-board electronics" section in "Technical data" in the vehicle Operator's Man‐ ual.

General notes

WARNING Risk of fire due to flammable materials on hot parts of the exhaust system

Flammable material such as leaves, grass or twigs may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system.

When driving on unpaved roads or offroad, regularly check the vehicle under‐ side.

Remove trapped plants or other flam‐ mable material.

If there is damage, consult a qualified specialist workshop immediately.

NOTE Damage to the vehicle

In the following situations, in particular, there is a risk of damage to the vehicle:

The vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a high curb or an unpaved road

The vehicle is driven too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a curb, speed bump or pot‐ hole

A heavy object strikes the underbody or chassis components

In situations such as this, the body, the underbody, chassis components, wheels or tires could be damaged without the damage being visible. Components damaged in this way can unexpectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, may not absorb the loads that arise as intended.

If the underbody paneling is damaged, flam‐ mable materials such as leaves, grass or twigs can collect between the underbody and the underbody paneling. These materials may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts on the exhaust system.

Have the vehicle checked and repaired immediately at a qualified specialist workshop.

If driving safety is impaired while con‐ tinuing your journey, pull over and stop the vehicle immediately in accordance with the traffic conditions, and contact a qualified specialist workshop.

Qualified specialist workshop

An authorized Mercedes-Benz Center is a quali‐ fied specialist workshop. It has the necessary special skills, tools and qualifications to cor‐ rectly carry out the work required on your vehi‐ cle. This particularly applies to safety-relevant works.

Always have the following work carried out on your vehicle at a qualified specialist workshop:

Safety-relevant work

Service and maintenance work

Repair work

Modifications as well as installations and conversions

Work on electronic components

General notes

Mercedes‑AMG recommends a Mercedes‑Benz service center.

Correct use of the vehicle

If you remove any warning stickers, you or others could fail to recognize certain dangers. Leave warning stickers in position.

Observe the following information in particular when driving your vehicle:

the safety notes in this manual

technical data for the vehicle

traffic rules and regulations

laws and safety standards pertaining to motor vehicles

Limited Warranty

NOTE Damage to the vehicle arising

from violation of these operating instruc‐ tions.

Damage to the vehicle can arise from viola‐ tion of these operating instructions.

This damage is not covered either by the Mercedes-Benz implied warranty or by the New‑ or Used-Vehicle Warranty.

Follow the instructions in these operat‐ ing instructions on proper operation of your vehicle as well as on possible vehi‐ cle damage.

Seat belts

Reduced protection

The AMG sport seat and the AMG Performance seat are designed for the standard three-point seat belt. If you install a different multipoint seat belt, e.g. sport or racing seat belts, the restraint system cannot provide the intended level of pro‐ tection.

Depending on the type of seat, there may be openings in the seat backrest. These openings have no function.

WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injury due to modified seat belt systems

If you feed seat belts through the opening in the seat backrest, the seat backrest may be damaged or may even break in the event of an accident.

Only use the standard three-point seat belt.

Never modify the seat belt system.

Adjusting the AMG Performance seat

To adjust the contour of the seat and for improved lateral support, you can adjust the front seats individually.

On the front passenger seat, you can adjust only the seat side bolsters of the seat backrest.

To adjust the seat side bolsters of the seat cushion: press button 1 (narrower) or

2 (wider).

To adjust the seat side bolsters of the seat backrest: press button 3 (narrower)

or 4 (wider).

Driving and parking

Driving

Breaking-in notes

To preserve the engine during the first 1,000 miles (1,500 km):

Drive at varying road speeds and engine speeds.

Do not drive faster than 85 mph (140 km/h).

Only briefly allow the engine to reach a maxi‐ mum engine speed of 4,500 rpm (4,500 rpm).

Mercedes-AMG E 53 4MATIC+: Drive the vehicle in drive program A or ;.

Mercedes‑AMG E 63 4MATIC+ and Mercedes‑AMG E 63 S 4MATIC+: Drive the

vehicle in drive program A.

Change gear before the tachometer needle is Ô of the way to the red area of the tachome‐ ter.

Do not shift down a gear manually in order to brake.

Avoid overstraining the vehicle, e.g. driving at full throttle.

Do not 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 (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:

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.

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.

Notes on the locking differential

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