Running-In; Before A Trip - Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Owner's Manual

Running-in

The driving style adopted during the first 1,000 km (620 mi.) of
driving is critical for proper running-in; do not run the engine at
excessively high speeds.
Engine and transmission
Avoid exceeding 5,000 RPM for the first 1,000 km (620 mi).
After starting, avoid exceeding 4,000 RPM until the engine has warmed
up sufficiently (oil temperature: 65÷70 °C).
• Do not keep the vehicle at high speeds for a prolonged time.
• Do not press the accelerator pedal fully.

Before a trip

Preliminary checks
Check the following at regular intervals and always before long trips:
• tyre pressure and conditions;
• levels of fluids and lubricants;
• condition of the windscreen wiper blades;
• proper functioning of the warning lights and external lights.
In any case, it is advisable to perform these checks at least every 1,000 km
(620 mi.), and to always comply with the maintenance schedule.
It is also advisable to:
• clean the glass covers of the external lights and all the glass surfaces;
• properly adjust the mirrors, steering wheel, seats and seat belts.
Refuelling
Use unleaded fuel only! Using leaded fuel would
permanently damage the catalytic converters.
For specifications and quantities of lubricants and fluids, follow the
information in the "Refilling" table on page 18.
