Vehicle break-in process
By following a few simple precautions
for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you
may add to the performance, economy
and life of your vehicle.
僅 Do not race the engine.
僅 Whilst driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per min -
ute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000
rpm.
僅 Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is needed
to properly break-in the engine.
僅 Avoid hard stops, except in emergen -
cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop -
erly.
僅 Don't tow a trailer during the first
2,000 km (1,200 miles) of operation.
僅 Fuel economy and engine perfor -
mance may vary depending on vehi -
cle break-in process and stabilize
after 6,000 km (4,000 miles). New
engines may consume more oil during
the vehicle break-in period.
