RUNNING-IN (petrol & diesel models)
Proper running-in will have a direct bearing on
the reliability and smooth running of your
vehicle throughout its life.
In particular, the engine, gearbox, brakes and
tyres need time to bed-in and adjust to the
demands of everyday motoring. It is therefore
essential to drive with consideration for the
running-in process for at least the first 800
km (500 miles) and observe the following
advice:
• LIMIT maximum speed to 80 km/h (50
mph) for Td5, Tdi and 4-cylinder petrol
engines and 95 km/h (60 mph) for V8
engines. Initially, drive the vehicle on a
light throttle and only increase engine
speeds once the running-in distance has
been completed.
• DO NOT operate at full throttle or allow the
engine to labour in any gear.
• AVOID fast acceleration and heavy braking
except in emergencies.
FUEL ECONOMY
Fuel consumption is influenced by two major
factors:
• How your vehicle is maintained.
• How you drive your vehicle.
To obtain optimum fuel economy, it is
essential that your vehicle is maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s service
schedule.
Items such as ignition timing, the condition of
the air cleaner element, tyre pressures and
wheel alignment can have a significant effect
on fuel consumption. But above all, the way in
which you drive is most important. The
following hints may help you to obtain even
better value from your motoring:
• Avoid unnecessary, short, start-stop
journeys.
• Avoid fast starts by accelerating gently and
smoothly from rest.
• Do not drive in the lower gears longer than
necessary.
• Decelerate gently and avoid sudden and
heavy braking.
• Anticipate obstructions and adjust your
speed accordingly well in advance.
DRIVE GENTLY - SAVE FUEL!
