New vehicle running-in
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for the
first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and engine oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a while
after the first drive and avoid inhaling the
fumes.
During the running-in period, fuel and
engine oil consumption may be higher.
Additionally, the cleaning process of the
exhaust filter may take place more often.
