few hours of operation, the engine has
a higher internal friction than it will
later.
Up to 1000 km (approx. 600 miles)
Do not accelerate fully.
Do not use more than two thirds of the maximum engine RPM.
Do not drive with a trailer.
Between 1000 and 1500 km (approx. 600 to 1000 miles)
1. Increase the speed and engine RPM gradually.
The driving style during the first 1500 km (approx. 1000 miles) also affects the engine's quality. Even after that – especially when the engine is cold – the engine
should be driven at moderate engine speeds to reduce engine wear and increase the possible mileage.
New tires and brake pads must be carefully broken in.
NOTICE
Do not drive at an insufficient engine speed. Always downshift if the engine stops running “smoothly”.
If the new engine is broken in gently, its service life is increased while, at the same time, reducing engine oil consumption.
Operating the vehicle in different countries and continents

particularly applies if the vehicle is being operated for an extended period in a different climate region.
