Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAUM2011
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)

mi) of operation, be sure to replace
the engine oil and final transmission
oil.
[ECA11661]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)

mally.

system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them and be burned.
● Do not park on a slope or on soft
ground, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn, increasing the
risk of a fuel leak and fire.
● Do not park near grass or other
flammable materials which
might catch fire.
