IMMOBILISER SYSTEM
B020B02FC-EAT
Diesel Engine
The longevity and performance of the
vehicle are greatly affected by the care
exercised during the first 1,000 miles of
motoring. Because of modern manu-
facturing techniques, rigid guidelines
regarding maximum road speeds have
become unnecessary. However, cer-
tain precautions should be observed in
order to obtain the best possible perfor-
mance and useful life from the vehicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a load
(i.e revving the engine in neutral).
2) During the first 600 miles the maxi-
mum engine speed should be re-
stricted to 3,000 rpm and gradually
increased thereafter. And whilst driv-
ing, keep under three quarters of
maximum vehicle speed.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed op-
eration. The internal components of
the engine will become run in more
quickly if the operation speed is var-
ied during the running in period.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use
the gearbox freely and avoid large
throttle open-ings when the engine
speed is below 1,500 rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maxi-
mum throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first
100 miles of urban motoring or 1,000
miles of motorway driving to allow
the friction facings of the brake pads
and shoes to bed against the discs
and drums properly.
7) No trailer towing should be under-
taken during the running in period.

Keys
6SB035A1-FE
The immobiliser system is an anti-theft
device, designed to prevent and deter
automobile theft.
All of the locks fitted to the vehicle are
operated by the same key. However,
since it is possible to lock the doors
without the use of the key, care should
be exercised to ensure that the key
does not become locked inside the
vehicle by mistake.
NOTE:
A non-genuine duplicate key will not
start the engine.
