Offline | Running In... Yes it's ~1250 miles, as already noted. Paraphrasing - For the first ~1250 miles drive at varying road and engine speeds but do not exceed 4500 rpm or 100 mph. Avoid full throttle and do not use the automatic transmission kick-down. From ~1250 miles onwards, engine and road speeds can be gradually increased. Also advised ... tyres do not achieve their full road grip immediately. You should therefore drive in a restrained manner for the first ~200 miles... brake pads and discs do not achieve a favourable wear and contact pattern until the car has covered ~300 miles. Drive with caution during this running-in period... The clutch needs to be run in for ~300 miles. Operate the clutch gently while running it in. This guidance is probably similar for the previous model and many other new cars? Pete |
