Ford Focus 2004 - Running in

RUNNING IN
There are no compulsory running in rules
for your vehicle. Simply avoid driving too
briskly during the first 1500 km, vary the
speed frequently and avoid labouring the
engine. This is necessary to give the moving
parts a chance to bed in.
New tyres require a running-in distance of
approximately 500 km. During this period,
the car may exhibit different driving
characteristics. Therefore, avoid driving too
briskly during the first 500 km.
If possible, you should avoid heavy use of
the brakes for the first 150 km in town and
for the first 1500 km on motorways.
From 1500 km onwards you can gradually
increase the performance of your vehicle up
to the permitted maximum speeds.
Avoid using high engine speeds.
You will then protect your engine,
reduce fuel consumption, lower
the engine noise level and help to
reduce the environmental burden.
We wish you safe and pleasurable
driving with your Ford vehicle.
