for the reliability and duration of the vehi-
cle. Follow the instructions
with care:
• During the first 1500 km, never re-
quest the maximum performance
from the engine; do not allow it to run
for long periods over 6000 rpm; avoid
long distances at high speeds and
uphill, above all with a passenger.
• From 1000 to 1500 km, do not run the
engine above 8000 rpm for long peri-
ods.
• After 1500 km, gradually increase
speeds to arrive at maximum perfor-
mance.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
• Make sure to change the engine oil
after the first 1000 Km.
• During the test run, the engine needs
to settle and finding the correct torque
for the different elements, it may be
normal for there to be higher oil con-
sumption than normal and to make
check more often of the oil level than
stated in the vehicle maintenance ta-
ble.

outside the red area on the rev coun-
ter.
