Like many others I am anxiously waiting delivery so I can take my I-pace for a spin and see what it can do. However the manual wants us to wait for 3,000 km before the fun begins. My question to those more technically aware than I,
“Is Jaguar being overly cautious?”
The manual states,
“The vehicle is built using high-precision manufacturing methods, but the moving parts of the electrical system must still bed-in, relative to each other. The bedding-in process occurs mainly in the first 3 000 km of operation.
During the running-in period of 3 000 km, observe and follow the instructions below:
Do notfully press the accelerator pedal during starts and normal driving.
Gradually increase road speeds.
Avoid continuous operation at high speed and abrupt stops.
Avoid frequent cold starts followed by short-distance driving.
Preferably take longer journeys.
Do not participate in track days, sports driving schools, or any similar events.”
