RUNNING-IN
The vehicle is built using high-precision manufacturing methods, but the moving parts of the engine must still settle in relative to each other. The running-in process occurs mainly in the first 3 000 km of operation.
During the running-in period of 3 000 km, observe and follow the instructions below:
- Do not fully press the accelerator pedal.
- Avoid high engine speeds (rpm) until the engine has reached its full operating temperature.
- Avoid operating the engine in too high a gear at low engine speeds (labouring).
- Gradually increase engine and road speeds.
- Avoid extended operation at high engine speeds with abrupt stops.
- Avoid frequent cold starts followed by short-distance driving. Where possible, allow the engine to reach operating temperature.
- Longer journeys are more helpful during the running-in period.
- Do not participate in off-road driving, competition driving, track days, sports driving schools, or any similar events.
