Instructions for Driving in the
Break-in Period
You can assure your vehicle’s future
reliability, economical operation and
performance by paying extra attention to
how you drive during the first 1,000 km
(600 miles). Follow these recommendations
during this period:
• After starting the engine, do not rev it
up; Warm up gradually at idling speed
• Do not drive over 100 km/hr or 3/4 of
the top speed.
• Avoid sudden acceleration and full
throttle
• Do not drive for a long time at a single
speed; either increase or decrease the
speed at intervals
• Do not drive slowly with the
transmission in high gear
• Avoid hard braking; new brakes need
to be broken-in by moderate use for
the first 300 km
• Do not tow a trailer during first 2500
kms of operation
• Avoid running the engine at high
speeds at full load until it has reached
its normal operating temperatures.
These recommendations should be
followed when the engine is overhauled or
when the brakes pads / liners replaced.
