Running-in the engine
Up to 620 miles (1,000 km), do not
exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) in top gear
or 3,500 rpm in the other gears and do
not accelerate by fully pressing the
accelerator pedal.
Avoid "sporty" driving until the vehicle
mileage reaches approximately 1,864
miles (3,000 km) .
You should only expect top
performance from your vehicle after
this period.
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 "MINI"
and "MAXI" marks. This does not
present a risk.
Service intervals: refer to your
vehicle's maintenance document.
It is forbidden to launch a
standing start procedure
during the running in period
of your vehicle (risk of engine
deterioration).
For more information on the
starting procedure, please refer to
the information on the "Standing
start procedure" in Section 2.
Running-in the brake pads
If the vehicle is equipped with new
pads, the brakes require running-in.
Therefore, it is recommended that you
do not press the brake pedal too hard
until the vehicle mileage reaches
approximately 124 miles (200 km).
For more information on the operations
required for running in, please consult
an approved dealer.
