Running In - Renault Clio User Manual

RUNNING IN

Petrol version
For the first 600 miles (1,000 km), do
not exceed 78 mph (130 km/h) in the
highest gear, or 3,000 to 3,500 rpm.
You may only expect top performance
from your vehicle after approximately
1,800 miles (3,000 km).
Note: for a new vehicle in the running-in
phase: the coolant level may be higher
than the "MAXI" mark on the tank, then
drop to between the levels "MINI" and
"MAXI". This does not present a risk.
Service intervals: refer to the
Maintenance Document for your vehi-
cle.
2.2
Diesel version
For the first 930 miles (1,500 km), do
not exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) in the
highest gear, or 2,500 rpm.
After completing this mileage you may
drive faster, although you may only
expect top performance after approxi-
mately 3,600 miles (6,000 km).
During the running in period, do not ac-
celerate hard while the engine is still
cold and do not let the engine over-rev.
Note: for a new vehicle in the running-in
phase: the coolant level may be higher
than the "MAXI" mark on the tank, then
drop to between the levels "MINI" and
"MAXI". This does not present a risk.
