1–2 BEFORE DRIVING YOUR CAR
BEFORE DRIVING OFF
• Be sure you understand your car and
its equipment and how to operate it
safely.
• Adjust your seating position.
• Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
• Ensure that all occupants of the car
have fastened their seat belts.
• Check the operation of the warning
lights when key is turned to "ON" posi-
tion.
• Check all gauges.
• Release the parking brake and ensure
that the brake warning light goes out.
BEFORE ENTERING THE CAR
• Ensure that windows, outside rear view
mirrors and lights are clean, undamaged
and unobstructed.
• Visually note inflation condition of tires.
• Check that all lights are working.
• Check the area behind the vehicle if you
are about to reverse.
• Check under the vehicle for leaks.
• Check the engine oil level and other fluid/
oil levels in engine compartment.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
There is no particular break-in rules for your
new Daewoo. However, following a few
simple precautions for the first few hundred
kilometers can add to the good future per-
formance, economy and long life of your car.
• Do not race the engine.
• Drive at varying speeds, trying not to
"strain" the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies.
This will allow the brakes to bed in prop-
erly.
• Avoid full-throttle starts.
• Allow the engine to warm up after start-
ing.
• Refrain from towing a trailer/caravan or
other vehicle.
• Avoid harsh operations such as abrupt
fast start, sudden acceleration and pro-
longed high speed driving. These opera-
tions not only have a detrimental effect
on the engine but also cause increased
fuel and oil consumption, which could
result in the malfunction of the engine
components. Especially, avoid full-
throttle acceleration in low gear.
WARNING
Check all lights, signalling systems
and warning indicators are in work-
ing order.
WARNING
Don't place objects on rear shelf.
• Rearward vision may be restricted.
• Sudden braking or collision may
cause objects to move and they
could cause injury.
