Driving hints
RUNNING-IN
Avoid driving too briskly during the
first 1 500 km (1 000 miles). Vary the
speed frequently and change up a
gear early. Avoid labouring the
engine.
New tyres require a running-in
distance of approximately 500 km
(300 miles). During this period, the
car may exhibit different driving
characteristics. Therefore, avoid
driving too briskly during the first 500
km (300 miles).
If possible, you should avoid heavy
use of the brake for the first 150 km
(100 miles) in town and for the first 1
500 km (1 000 miles) on motorways.
From 1 500 km (1 000 miles) onwards
you can gradually increase the
performance of your vehicle up to
the permitted maximum speeds.
We wish you safe and pleasurable
driving with your Ford vehicle.
