safety check, making sure there are no
children or obstructions around the vehicle.
Driving
Check Around the Vehicle Before Starting the Engine
WARNING
• Before starting the engine, make
sure there is no flammable material
under or around the vehicle. The
presence of any such material could
lead to a fire. If there is any wood
within 50 cm (approximately 20 in)
from the vehicle's heat source, it
would represent a severe hazard as
the wood could deform or discolor
from the heat or it could catch fire.

Proper care and operation will not only extend the service life of your vehicle but also
improve oil and fuel economy.
Operation of New Vehicle
The subsequent performance and the service life of your vehicle are under the direct
influence of the care and treatment that your vehicle will receive during the initial
break-in period. It is therefore always recommended that during the initial 1,000 km (600
miles) break-in period, the following few simple precautions are carefully observed.
1. It is recommended that the engine speed is restricted to less than 3,000 r/min.
2. Avoid engine racing, abrupt starting and needless hard stops.
3. Always let the engine idle until it becomes thoroughly warmed up.
