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
(1,5 00 km) .
For the first 600 miles (1,000 kilometers):
Do not use full throttle .
- Do not drive faster t han 3/ 4 of the top speed mar ked on
the speedomete r.
- Avoid high engine speeds .
From 600 to 1,000 miles (1,000 to 1,500
kilometers):
- Spe e ds can gradually be incre a sed to t he maximu m
permissib le road or engine spee d .
During and after break-in period
- Do not rev the engine up to high speeds w hen it is cold.
This applies whet her t he tra nsmission is in N (Neutral) or
1n gear .
After the break-in period
- Do not exceed max imum engi ne spee d under any circum-
st ances .
- Ups hift into t he next hig her gear
before re achi ng t h e red
ar ea at t he end of the t achometer sca le =>

During the first few hours of driving, the engine 's interna l frictio n is
higher than later when all the moving parts have been broken in . How
we ll t his brea k-in process is done depends to a considerable extent on
the way the veh icle is driven dur ing the first 1,000 miles (1,500 kilo-
mete rs).
0 Note
Ext remely high engine speeds are aut om at ically red uced . However,
these rpm li mits are programmed fo r an engine we ll run-in, not a new
engine.
<i> For the sake of the environment
Do not drive w ith unnecessari ly high engine speeds - upshifting early
saves fuel, reduces noise and protec t s the environment . •
New tires
If your vehic le is running on new t ires, drive very caref ully for
the firs t 3 50 m iles (500 kilome t ers) afte r fitt ing .
& WARNING
New tires tend to be slippery and must also be "broken-in ". Be
sure to remember th is during the first 350 miles (500 kilome-
ter s). Brake gently. Avoid following closely behind other vehicles
or other situation s that might require sudden, hard braking. •
