RUNNING-IN
This vehicle is built using high-precision
manufacturing methods, but the moving
parts of the engine must still bed-in,
relative to each other. This process occurs
mainly in the first 3 000 km of operation.
During this running-in period of 3 000 km,
observe and follow the instructions below:
• Do not use full throttle during starts
and normal driving.
• Avoid high engine speeds (rpm) until
the engine has reached its full
operating temperature.
• Avoid labouring the engine by
operating the engine in too high a
gear at low speeds.
• Gradually increase engine and road
speeds.
• Avoid continuous operation at high
engine speed and abrupt stops.
• Avoid frequent cold starts followed by
short-distance driving.
• Preferably take longer trips.
• Do not participate in track days, sports
driving schools, or any similar events.
OWNER MAINTENANCE
Any significant or sudden drop in
fluid levels, or uneven tyre wear,
should be reported to a qualified
technician without delay.
In addition to the routine maintenance, a
number of simple checks must be carried
out more frequently.
DAILY CHECKS
• Operation of the lamps, horn, direction
indicators, wipers, washers and
warning lamps.
• Operation of the seat belts and brakes.
• Look for fluid deposits underneath the
vehicle that might indicate a leak.
Condensation drips from the Air
Conditioning (A/C) system are normal.
WEEKLY CHECKS
• Engine oil level.
• Engine coolant level.
• Brake fluid level.
• Power steering fluid level.
• Screen washer fluid level.
• Tyre pressures and condition.
• Operate the Air Conditioning (A/C).
Note: The engine oil level should be
checked more frequently if the vehicle is
driven for prolonged periods at high
speeds.
ARDUOUS DRIVING
CONDITIONS
When a vehicle is operated in extremely
arduous conditions, more frequent
attention must be paid to servicing
requirements.
Arduous driving conditions include:
• Driving in dusty and/or sandy
conditions.
• Driving on rough and/or muddy roads.
• Frequent wading.
• Frequent driving at high speeds in
high ambient temperatures above
50ºC.
