Operation
Before You Start

starting the FUV for the first time.
2.
Perform the Pre-Ride Inspections described on
page75.
New Vehicle Break-In
Procedure
Many vehicle components on the FUV require a "break-in"
period, for maximum safety and long-term performance.
For example, during the first 100-500 miles tires, brakes
and suspension joints will all wear in to their standard
service life condition.
Do not expect full performance from tires for the first 100
miles or brakes for the first 300-500 miles. Allow extra
following distance and moderate braking during this
period.
Avoid aggressive driving and overheating the brakes, as
this can damage the brake pads and brake rotors.
During break-in period the sounds of the brakes will
change, and steering will become slightly easier.
Aside from these recommendations, we do not
recommend any special treatment. Drive normally and
use the brakes as necessary for safety.
Fasten Seat Belts
1. Sit upright in the seat, back flat against the backrest
and both feet flat on the floorboard.
2. Fasten both seat belts, and make sure that a
passenger does the same.
Ensure that the seat belts fit snugly across the shoulders,
chest and lap. Make sure the belts are not twisted.
See page 57 for details on using the seat belts.
