3,000 rpm

Heat up the engine and gearbox oil in sixth gear at 3,000 rpm

Monitor the engine water temperature (tmot – ‘startup’ display

page), this must not exceed 110 °C (if necessary position a fan in

front of the car)

During the warm up procedure check the steering system oil level

while turning the steering from lock to lock, see chapter 400 – 1

Attention

The electronic gearshift prevents shift errors. If a ‘dog to dog’ situation occurs

during the warming up procedure, the ECU initiates an automatic throttle blip.

This is perceived audibly as the engine revs increase shortly. When downshifting

only use the shift paddle without using the clutch or throttle --> the ECU

controls the clutch and throttle.
