Breaking in a new car (VAZ-21099, 1990-2004)

During car break-in (first 2000 km) there is an intensive running-in of details. The reliability, durability and efficiency of your car will depend on proper operation during this period. Run-in must be a new car or a car with a replaced (overhauled) engine.

During the break-in period, we recommend:

1. Move off only in first gear.

2. Warm up the engine at idle before driving.

3. Start driving only after the engine runs steadily with the carburetor choke fully open.

4. When driving, do not exceed the speeds indicated in the table below.

5. During the break-in period, do not twist the engine: in a timely manner, turn on the gear corresponding to the speed.

6. Avoid driving in deep snow, sand, mud.

7. Do not change engine oil filled at the factory.

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

After break-in, visit a service station for the first scheduled maintenance. In order for the warranty to continue to be valid, service station employees must enter maintenance records in the service book coupons.
