Running-in
During the first few operating hours the
engine internal friction is higher than
later on when all the moving parts have
bedded down. How well this running-in
process is done depends to a consider-
able extent on the way the vehicle is dri-
ven during the first 1500 km.
Up tto 1
1000 k
kilometres
the following general rules apply:
•
Do n
not u
use ffull tthrottle
•
Do n
not d
drive ffaster tthan 3
3/4 o
of ttop
speed
•
Avoid h
high e
engine s
speeds
•
Trailer towing should if possible be
avoided.
Warning
•
New ttyres m
must a
also b
be “
“run iin”
because tthey d
do n
not h
have m
maximum
adhesion a
at tthe s
start. T
This m
must b
be
taken iinto a
account b
by d
driving c
care-
fully d
during tthe ffirst 1
100 k
km.
•
New b
brake llinings m
must a
also b
be
run iin a
and d
do n
not h
have tthe o
opti-
mum ffriction p
properties d
during tthe
first 2
200 k
km. T
The s
slightly rreduced
braking e
effect c
can b
be c
compen-
sated ffor b
by m
more p
pressure o
on tthe
brake p
pedal. T
This a
also a
applies
when n
new llinings h
have b
been ffitted.
From 1
1000 –
– 1
1500 k
km
The speed can be gradually increased to
the road or engine maximum.
During a
and a
after tthe rrunning-in
period tthe ffollowing a
applies:
•
Do not overrev the engine when cold –
either in neutral or in the gears.
All speeds and revs given are only valid
when engine is properly w
warm.
❀
Do n
not d
drive w
with u
unnecessarily
high e
engine rrevs. C
Changing u
up
one g
gear h
helps tto s
save ffuel, d
decrease
noise a
and p
pollution. S
See a
also tthe
"Driving e
economically a
and e
ecologi-
cally" c
chapter.
•
Do not let engine labour – change down
when engine no longer runs smoothly.
After tthe rrunning-in p
period
•
On vehicles with a rev counter* the
maximum permissible engine speed is
shown by the beginning of the red zone
on the rev counter scale. The needle of the
counter must not move into this zone.
Extremely high engine revs will be auto-
matically governed.
The ffirst 1
1,500 k
km – a
and a
afterwards
