Running in
Running-in the engine
Up to 620 miles (1,000 km), do not exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) in top gear or 3,500 rpm in the other gears and
do not accelerate by fully pressing the accelerator pedal.
Avoid "sporty" driving until the vehicle mileage reaches approximately 1,864 miles (3,000 km) .
You should only expect top performance from your vehicle after this period.
Note: for a new vehicle in the running-in phase, the coolant level may be higher than the
"MAXI" mark on the tank, then drop to between the "MINI" and "MAXI" marks. This does not present a risk.
Service intervals: refer to your vehicle's maintenance document.
Tip
It is forbidden to launch a standing start procedure during the running in period
of your vehicle (risk of engine deterioration).
For more information on the starting procedure, please refer to the information on
the "Standing start procedure" in Section 2.
Running-in the brake pads
If the vehicle is equipped with new pads, the brakes require running-in.
Therefore, it is recommended that you do not press the brake pedal too hard until
the vehicle mileage reaches approximately 124 miles (200 km).
For more information on the operations required for running in, please consult an
approved dealer.
