Running in
Observe the following running in instructions
when the vehicle is new or if any of these
components have been replaced.
Engine and gearbox
For the first 625 miles (1,000 km):
• drive at varying road and engine speeds.
• do not drive faster than the maximum
speed limit of the road, or 150 mph (240
km/h).
• do not use your vehicle on a track.
• avoid heavy loads on the engine (driving at
full throttle).
• avoid driving at engine speeds less than
2,000 rpm.
• avoid running at constant speed and load
for long periods.
• avoid using kickdown.
• do not downshift for additional engine
braking.
•
avoid stopping the engine within 2 minutes
of high speed and high load running.
•
avoid idling the engine for more than 10
minutes.
After the 625 miles (1,000 km) running in period,
you may gradually use the vehicle’s full
performance.
NOTE: Failure to observe the engine and
gearbox operating limits during the
running in period may lead to premature
wear or damage.
NOTE: These running in instructions
also apply for the first 625 miles (1,000
km) after the engine or transmission
has been replaced.
ENVIRONMENTAL: This advice will assist
in improving fuel economy and should
be adopted as normal driving practice
even after the running in period.
Brakes
New brakes require an initial bedding in period.
Avoid heavy braking situations for the first 625
miles (1,000 km).
Normal/road use
• Allow the engine to warm up before driving
at high engine speeds and high loads. Limit
engine speed to 5,000 rpm until the engine
reaches full operating temperature.
• Avoid stopping the engine within 2 minutes
of high speed/high load running.
• Avoid idling the engine for more than 10
minutes.
