Running in a car (Fusion)

            0

Ford Fusion cars are distinguished by high quality of manufacturing and materials used, so they are immediately ready for full operation and do not require special running-in. However, during the initial period of operation of the car (the first 1500 km of run) there is an intensive running-in of parts. To increase the reliability, durability and economy of the car during its further operation and after major engine repairs, we recommend that you follow the following rules for operating the car.

1. Before each trip, check and, if necessary, adjust the air pressure in the tires to the norm.

2. Do not operate the engine at high crankshaft speed (more than 4500–5000 min⁻¹).

3. Shift to a lower gear in a timely manner according to road conditions to avoid unwanted engine overload.

4. For better running-in of the brake pads, try to avoid sudden braking.

5. Avoid driving in deep snow, sand, and mud whenever possible.

6. Do not tow a trailer and, if possible, try to avoid towing other vehicles.

7. Use a "soft" driving style, avoiding sudden acceleration, braking, and maneuvering.

8. Do not exceed the speed of 130 km/h even on downhill slopes.

9. Periodically check and, if necessary, adjust the tension of the auxiliary drive belts (generator and power steering pump, air conditioning compressor). During the initial period of operation, the belts may stretch most intensively.

10. Monitor the condition of all fasteners of the car and tighten them if necessary. Pay special attention to the fastening of the wheels, steering components, front and rear suspensions, the exhaust pipe to the exhaust manifold of the engine.



After the running-in period (1500 km), visit a service station for the first scheduled maintenance. In order for the warranty to remain valid, ask the service station employees to enter a note on the maintenance in the service book coupons.

After a mileage of 1,500 km, the restrictions are lifted, but for the final running-in of engine parts, the car must travel approximately 3,000 km.
