Do not drive off straight away. Leave
engine to idle for a short time until suf-
ficient oil pressure has built up. This
prevents wear and potential damage to
the engine.
Quickly warm up the engine by driving
in the middle range of the engine
speed. Observe the green section in
the rev counter as you do this.
Depending on the ambient tempera-
ture, the engine will reach its operating
temperature after approximately
10 – 20 minutes. The engine's full pow-
er output becomes available once the
operating temperature has been
reached.
