Running in of the new car

To provide reliability and durability of the car in operation, throughout the first 15000 km of a run it is necessary to follow the following rules:
  • Do not start on full gas, avoid sharp dispersals and excessive increases in turns of the engine;
  • Try to move with a speed no more than 2/3 from the maximum value;
  • In due time switch transfers, avoid braking by the engine;
  • On models with AT use ranges 3, 2 and 1 only in case of need and at low speeds of the movement;
  • Avoid activation of the kickdown mode, - do not squeeze out against the stop the accelerator pedal;
  • You do not brake too sharply. Normal extra earnings of new brake shoes happens over a run in 300 km during which it is necessary to brake, whenever possible, smoothly and with average intensity.
  • After repair or replacement of the engine, and also after replacement of brake shoes it is necessary to observe similar restrictions and recommendations.
