Running-in the engine
The engine needs t
o be run in o
ver the first
1,500 km. During its first few hours of running,
the internal friction in the engine is greater
than later on when all the moving parts have
bedded down.
How the vehicle is driven for the first 1,500 km
influences the future engine performance.
Throughout the life of the vehicle, it should be
driven at a moderate speed, especially when
the engine is cold, as this will reduce engine
wear and increase its useful life. Never drive
at extremely low engine speeds. Change
down to a lower gear when the engine no
longer runs “smoothly”. Up to 1,000 kilome-
tres the following instructions apply:
