iv) If the engine fails to start within 15 seconds, stop cranking
and pause for 10 seconds before a second attempt.
v) If further efforts are unsuccessful, contact your dealer or seek
other expert help.
WARNING
An unattended car with a running engine is potentially hazard-
ous. Turn off the engine and remove the key before leaving
the car.
NOTICE
The use of wide throttle openings and/or high rpm
before the engine has reached normal running temperature
will result in premature wear, and should be avoided. See
page 62.
Idle Speed
Engine idle speed is controlled electronically by the engine
management system, and is normally about 640 rpm. Variations
will occur during the engine warm up phase, and at abnormally
high temperatures. Selection of air conditioning will also result
in a raised idle speed.
Engine Break-In
Although the Evora powertrain is built to close tolerances
using modern technology, the progressive and sympathetic
breaking-in (or bedding-in) of a new engine and transmission,
remains a valuable contributor to achieving the highest levels of
efficiency, durability, smooth operation and economic perform-
ance. By following the simple guidelines described below, a solid
foundation will be built for the car's lifetime career.
NOTICE
Failure to comply with the following running-in provi-
sions could invalidate the terms of the New Vehicle Warranty:
Engine: It is important during the car's early life, not to overload
the engine, and to control the amount of engine heat generated.
This is dependent primarily on throttle opening (accelerator posi-
tion) and engine speed. However, being too sympathetic on the
car will not allow the piston rings to bed in satisfactorily, so a
balance of spirited and gentle use is required. For the first 600
miles (1,000 km), use no more than moderate throttle openings
(about half of the available accelerator pedal travel) and do not
