Opel Corsa: Driving and operating / Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may

evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid

During the running-in period, fuel and
engine oil consumption may be
higher.
Additionally, the cleaning process of
the exhaust filter may take place more
often.
