New Vehicle Break-In
Recommendations
Engine Break-In
Recommendations
Vehicle frictional resistance is much
greater when the vehicle is new. The
result of proper engine break-in will
impact the service life, operating reli-
ability and vehicle economical effi-
ciency. The following is the proper en-
gine break-in procedure:
During first 1,000 km of operation:
• Do not allow the engine speed to ex-
ceed 3,000 rpm
• Do not exceed 100 km/h
• Do not operate the engine at maxi-
mum speed when upshifting
During 1,000-1,500 km of operation:
• Driving speed can be gradually in-
creased to greater than 100 km/h
• Engine speed can be gradually in-
creased to its maximum
