~1min read
To improve engine performance, optimize fuel consumption and ensure long-term trouble-free operation, follow the recommendations below during the first several hundred kilometers:
- Avoid starting off with the accelerator pedal fully depressed.
- Do not allow the engine to run at high speeds.
- Avoid heavy braking unless necessary.
This will allow the brakes to bed in properly.
- To prevent engine damage and save fuel, avoid sudden starts, hard acceleration and prolonged high-speed driving.
Avoid accelerating with the accelerator pedal fully depressed in low gears.
- Do not tow other vehicles.
