DRIVING TIPS
Always check the Owner’s Manual for more operating information and safety features
Driving
Tips
Break-in period
First 600 miles: Avoid heavy
braking and acceleration; drive at
varying road and engine speeds
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
When brake pedal is pressed, ABS
automatically reduces hydraulic
pressure to any wheel on the
verge of locking up
You may feel a slight pulsing of the
brake pedal and hear a clicking noise;
this tells you the ABS is functioning
properly; increase pressure on pedal
for maximum braking
Tips: Maintain constant
pressure on the brake pedal
Do not pump the brakes
Unique driving conditions
Every 5,000 miles change oil/
filter, inspect coolant level,
lights, brake/clutch fluid, tire
pressure/wear, power steering
fluid, locks/hinges, washer fluid
and rotate tires
Maintenance notes:
Rotate tires every 7,500 miles
or sooner if needed
Replace cabin air filter once
every 2 years or 25,000 miles
Replace spark plugs every
100,000 miles (or 60,000 miles
if following the Unique driving
conditions
)
Replace (FL22)* engine coolant
every 120,000 miles or 10 years
Traction Control System*
Automatically controls engine
torque to prevent excessive
wheel spin at all speeds,
especially when accelerating
on slippery surfaces
Tire economy and tips
Check pressure at least monthly
when tires are cold
Maintain correct front-end
alignment and tire balance; rotate
tires at 7,500-mile intervals; see
