Montero Sport Break-in and Alarm system problems

**roydok** · August 31st, 2010 07:45 PM

I was told by the service advisor of Mitsubishi Carworld that all Montero Sport engines had underwent routine break-in from the factory. Thus routine break-in procedures (limiting speed to less than 80 kph, no excessive speeding, etc...) are not anymore needed. They mention I can drive the vehicle normally. Except of course I am still required to do the routine 1,000 km check-up. Is this true?

Also my alarm system on my Monty is very sensitive. Can the sensitivity be adjusted? I can't find any instructions from the manual. Carworld SA mentioned they don't know how to adjust it.

Thanks.

if i were you id drive with care for the 1st 1000kms, dont listen too much to the sales agent, they know nothing. i would still recommend to observe the normal breakin process just to be sure....pag may nasira sa montero mo, dami naman palusot sila...

Your vehicle comes with an operating manual, read it. The instructions for proper running-in are in there. You can drive up to 120 kph (check table in manual), do not maintain the same speed for long periods.
