Introduction Vehicle modifications
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could
affect its performance, safety or
durability and may even violate gov
ernmental safety and emissions
regulations. In addition, damage or
performance problems resulting
from any modification may not be
covered under warranty.
䳜 If you use unauthorized electronic
devices, it may cause the vehicle
to operate abnormally, wire dam-
age, battery discharge and fire.
For your safety, do not use unau
thorized electronic devices.
Vehicle break-in process
No special break-in period is needed.
By following a few simple precau
tions for the first 1,000 km (600
miles) you may add to the perfor
mance, economy and life of your
vehicle.
䳜 Do not race the engine.
䳜 While driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
䳜 Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is
needed to properly break-in the
engine.
䳜 Avoid hard stops, except in emer
gencies, to allow the brakes to
seat properly.
䳜 Don't tow a trailer during the first
2,000 km (1,200 miles) of opera
tion.
