Before You Drive
BREAKING-IN
Proper breaking-in will have a direct bearing on
the reliability and smooth running of your
vehicle throughout its life.
In particular, the engine, gearbox, brakes and
tires need time to ‘bed-in’ and adjust to the
demands of everyday motoring. During the first
500
miles (800 km), it is essential to drive with
consideration for the running-in process and
heed the following advice:
•
LIMIT maximum road speed to 70 mph (110
km/h) or 3,000 rev/min. Initially, drive the
vehicle on a light throttle and only increase
engine speeds gradually once the
breaking-in distance has been completed.
•
•
DO NOT operate at full throttle or allow the
engine to labor in any gear.
AVOID fast acceleration and heavy braking
except in emergencies.
