Running in
Ignition switch
The ignition is switched on:
– you can start the ve-
hicle;
– the engine is pre-
heating.
If the engine fails to start at the first
attempt, the key must be turned back
before the starter can be activated
again. Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
on diesel versions, several sec-
onds may pass between turning the
key and the engine starting to allow for
engine preheating.
To lock: remove the key and turn the
steering wheel until the steering column
locks.
To unlock: turn the key and the steering
wheel slightly.
When the ignition is switched off, any
accessories (radio, etc.) will continue to
function.
For the first (1,000 km) do
not exceed 54 mph (90 km/h) in the
highest gear.
After , you may
use your vehicle normally, although you
may only expect top performance after
approximately 1,800 miles (3,000 km).
refer to the
Maintenance Document for the vehicle.
For the first (1,500 km), do
not exceed 54 mph (90 km/h). After
completing this mileage you may
drive faster, however, it is only after
3600 miles (6,000 km) have been cov-
ered that you may reasonably expect
full performance.
During the running in period, do not ac-
celerate hard while the engine is still
cold and do not let the engine over-rev.
refer to the
Maintenance Document for the vehicle.
In the “Accessories” or “On” posi-
tion, a system may automatically
switch off your vehicle’s accessories
depending on the battery charge, to
prevent it from discharging com-
pletely.
