Introduction
No special break-in period is needed.
By following a few simple precautions
for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you
may add to the performance, econo-
my and life of your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• Whilst driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) within 3,000 rpm.
• Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is need-
ed to properly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emer-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
• Don't tow a trailer during the first
2,000 km (1,200 miles) of operation.
• Do not park or stop the vehicle near
flammable items such as leaves,
paper, oil, and tyre. Such items
placed near the exhaust system can
become a fire hazard.
• When an engine idles at a high
speed with the rear side of the vehi-
cle touching the wall, heat of the
exhaust gas can cause discol-
oration or fire. Keep enough space
between the rear part of the vehicle
and the wall.
• Be sure not to touch the
exhaust/catalytic systems whilst
engine is running or right after the
engine is turned off. There is a risk
of burns since the systems are
extremely hot.
