Kia Sportage: Vehicle break-in process
No special break-in period is needed. By following a few simple precautions for
the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to the performance, economy and life
of your vehicle.
- Do not race the engine.
- While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between
2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
- Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine.
- Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.
- Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles) of operation.
As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly
may result in loss of control, an accident or vehicle rollover.
