C400 - first kilometers....
Hi,
Just wanted to have your opinions on how to drive during the first kilometers in order to get good performance after...
I ask you that because I made two quick (but a bit strong) accelerations at 400Km. I was around 6'500turn in Sport+. I regret
The rest of the time, I've always been really cool in my accelerations.
Do you think these two accelerations can hurt the engin for the future ?

Ah OK, thank you for your quick answer.
Yes the engine was at its cruising temperature, around 85°C.
But in a more generic manier, what would you recommend for this first Km period in terms of rpm, mph, etc ?

That's a subject of endless debate. Generally speaking, you can't go wrong just following the recommendations given in the owner's manual.
