Engine Breaking point?

Hi all,

Any recommendation on the new Engine?

I heard that it is good to use sport mode in the first 1,500mile, which will be good for the engine.

is that true?

Please advise.

Ha ha ha. Gentle acceleration and gentle braking thru the break-in and vary your speeds while on the highway. That should do it, good luck!

The manufacturers recommendation is to avoid sudden acceleration and stops. Gentle acceleration and stops should be all that you need .

Also, they mention no driving at "extremely high speeds" Can someone define what extremely high speeds is?

I believe the gentle driving manner is also to "burn in" the complex electronics that this baby got, more than your regular car.
