Seat Arona 2018, Руководство пользователя, Страница: 245 / 372

Start and driving
From 1,000 kilometres (600 miles) to
1,500 kilometres (900 miles)
–
Speeds can be gradually increased to the
maximum road speed or maximum permis-
sible engine speed (rpm).
During its first few hours of running, the inter-
nal friction in the engine is greater than later
on, when all the moving parts have bedded
in.
For the sake of the environment
If the engine is run in gently, its life will be
increased and its oil consumption reduced.
Running-in of tyres and brake pads
New tyres should be run in carefully for the
first 500 km (300 miles) and new brake pads
should be run in carefully for the first 200 km
(125 miles).
During the first 200 km (125 miles) you have
to compensate for the reduced braking effect
by applying more pressure to the brake ped-
al. In case of a sharp braking, the braking dis-
tance will be longer with new brake pads
than with brake pads which have been run-in.
WARNING
●
At first, new tyres do not give maximum
grip, and require running-in. This may
cause an accident. Drive particularly care-
fully in the first 500 km (300 miles).
● New brake pads must be “run in” and do
not have the correct friction properties dur-
ing the first 200 km (125 miles). However,
the reduced braking capacity may be com-
pensated by pressing on the brake pedal a
little harder.
Environmental compatibility
Environmental protection is a top priority in
the design, choice of materials and manufac-
ture of your new SEAT.
Constructive measures to encourage re-
cycling
●
Joints and connections designed for easy
dismantling.
●
Modular construction to facilitate disman-
tling.
●
Increased use of single-grade materials.
●
Plastic parts and elastomers are marked in
accordance with ISO 1043, ISO 11469 and
ISO 1629.
Choice of materials
●
Use of recycled materials.
●
Use of compatible plastics in the same part
if its components are not easily separated.
● Use of recycled materials and/or materials
originating from renewable sources.
●
Reduction of volatile components, including
odour, in plastic materials.
●
Use of CFC-free coolants.
Ban on heavy metals, with the exceptions
dictated by law (Annex II of ELV Directive
2000/53/EC):
cadmium, lead, mercury,
hexavalent chromium.
Manufacturing methods
●
Reduction of the quantity of thinner in the
protective wax for cavities.
●
Use of plastic film as protection during vehi-
cle transport.
●
Use of solvent-free adhesives.
●
Use of CFC-free coolants in cooling sys-
tems.
● Recycling and energy recovery from resi-
dues (RDF).
●
Improvement in the quality of waste water.
●
Use of systems for the recovery of residual
heat (thermal recovery, enthalpy wheels,
etc.).
●
The use of water-soluble paints.
