PRECAUTIONS DURING THE RUNNING-IN
OF THE CAR
A correct use of the car during the 1St thousands kms. is necessary for a
good bedding of the moving parts and to ensure their life.
For a gradual running-in, therefore, it is necessary to proceed as follows:
- when starting the engine, gradually warm-up it without reaching the
max. r.p.m.
on fiat roads, never exceed the following engine r.p.m.:
up to 1,500 km (930 miles): 4,300 r.p.m.
from 1,500 to 3,000 km (930 to 1,900 miles): ~ ,ooo r.p.m.
on long runs, from time to time, release the accelerator pedal even for
a few seconds only.
- when climbing, never depress the accelerator pedal fully, and shift to
the lower gear, if necessary.
This is also recommended for an overhauled engine with replaced pistons,
rings and bearings.
- avoid hard and extended brake applications.
Do not change the engine oil later than the 1St 1,500 to :z,ooo km (930 to 1,:Z40
miles), as the first filling has been carried out with oil special for the
running-in.
Should it be necessary to restore the level during the first 1,500 to :z,ooo km
(930 to 1,:Z40 miles) use:
AGIP FI SUPERMOTOROIL 10 W-40;
ESSO UNIFLO 10 W-40;
MOBILOIL SUPER 10 W-50.
