Section 3
■ NEW VEHICLE
BREAK-IN PERIOD
NOTICE
Your vehicle doesn't need an
elaborate "break-in", however
it will perform better in the
long run if you follow these
guidelines:
• Keep your speed at 90 km/h
or less for the first 800 km.
• Don't drive at a constant
speed - fast or slow - for the
first 800 km. Don't make
full-throttle starts.
NOTICE (Continued)
• Avoid downshifting to brake
or slow the vehicle.
•Avoid making hard stops for
the first 320 km or so. Hard
stops with new brake linings
can mean premature wear.
Follow this "break-in" guide-
line every time you get new
brake linings.
• Do not tow a trailer during
"break-in".
Following break-in, engine
speed and load can be
gradually increased.
■ KEYS
CAUTION
Do not leave children in the
vehicle with the ignition key.
They could operate the power
windows or other controls and
could even make the vehicle
move. A child or others could
be injured or even killed.
Children can be seriously
injured or killed if caught in the
path of a closing window.
Do not leave children
unattended in the vehicle.
