Running in a car (Renault Symbol 1)

After repair of the main units, the car is subject to running-in, during which the parts and assemblies are finally worked in. The running-in period is 1000 km. During this run, the engine speed should be limited to 3500 min⁻¹, and the car speed should not exceed 130 km / h when driving in top gear. It is necessary to avoid full power modes and maximum acceleration during acceleration. After a run of 2000 km, gradually increase the speed and engine crankshaft speed. It is recommended to fully use the dynamic qualities of the car only after 3000 km.

New tires achieve optimal grip on the road after 300 km, while brake discs and pads only operate at their most effective after 500 km.
