Running in the car for the first 1000 km (Opel Corsa C)

Careful treatment of the power unit at the initial stage of vehicle operation is the key to its reliable and efficient operation throughout the remaining service life declared by the manufacturer.

For the first 1000 km of driving, you should try to drive at variable speeds and with frequent changes in engine speed within the permissible range.

Avoid increased loads at the initial stage of vehicle operation that require full opening of the throttle valve; try not to exceed 3/4 of the maximum permissible crankshaft speed when driving in the selected gear.

During the first 200 km, try to avoid hard braking - brake, if possible, smoothly and with medium intensity.

If possible, try to avoid pressing the gas pedal beyond the point of resistance that leads to kickdown mode activation (models with AT).

Avoid manual downshifting for engine braking purposes. On AT models, move the selector lever to the limited shift range positions only when absolutely necessary (for example, when driving in mountainous areas).

After the first 1000 km of travel, the driving speed and engine speed can be gradually increased to the maximum values.
