Driving
and environment
The first 1,000
miles ( 1 ,500 km) and
afterwards
New
engine
The engine needs to be run-in during the first 1,000 miles
(1,500 km).
For the first 600
miles
(1,000
kilometres):
Do not use full throttle.
-
Do not drive faster than 3/4 of the top speed marked on
the speedometer.
- Avoid high engine speeds
.
From 600
to 1,000
miles
(1,000
to 1,500
kilometres):
-
Speeds
can
gradually be increased to the max imum
permissible
road
or engine
speed.
During
and after
break-in
period
-
Do not rev the engine
up
to high speeds when it
is
cold.
This applies whether the
transmission
is in N (Neutral) or
1n gear.
After
the break-in
period
-
Do
not
exceed maximum engine
speed under
any
circumstances.
-
Upshift
into the
next
higher
gear before reaching
the red
area
at
the
end of the
tachometer
scale
=>
page
12.
During
the first few hours of driving,
the
engine's internal friction is
higher than
later
when all the moving parts have been broken in.
How
well
this
break-in process
is
done depends
to
a considerable
extent on the way the vehicle is driven during the first
1,000
miles
(1,500 kilometres).
0
Note
Extremely high engine speeds are automatically reduced.
However,
these RPM-limits were programmed for an engine well run-in, not a
new
engine.
~
For the sake of the environment
Do not drive with unnecessarily high engine speeds - upshifting
early saves fuel, reduces noise and protects the environment
.
•
New
tires
If
your
vehicle
is
running
on
new tires, drive
particularly
careful for
the
first 350
miles (500
kilometres)
after
fitting.
&
WARNING
New tires tend to be slippery and must also be "broken-in". Be
sure
to remember this during the first 350 miles (500 kilometres).
Brake gently. Avoid following closely behind other vehicles or
other situations that might require sudden, hard braking.
