Safety Tips During Engine Break-In
The maximum engine speed is 6,000
rpm. When operating the manual
transaxle, the vehicle must be shifted
into the next highest gear before the
needle of the tachometer is in the red
range.
NOTE: To utilize your vehicle effi-
ciently, avoid operating the engine at un-
necessary high speeds. It should be
shifted to the highest gear position as
early as possible in order to save fuel,
decrease operational noise and help re-
duce environmental pollution.
NOTE: The engine is also at risk if it is
operated at too low an engine speed. It
should be shifted to a lower gear posi-
tion in order to maintain the proper en-
gine speed.
NOTE: The engine must be at normal
operating temperature before operating
the engine at high speed.
Braking System Break-In
Recommendations
The brakes cannot provide the ideal
friction to stop during the vehicle's
first 200 km of operation. You should
depress the brake pedal firmly to in-
crease friction and improve stopping
capability.

Tire and Wheel Break-In
Recommendations
New tires also require a brief break-in
period. Your vehicle should be driven
slowly and especially carefully during
the first 100 km of driving.
Vehicle wheel nuts must be re-
tightened to the specified torque after
the first 800 km of driving. Also, when
a wheel has been replaced or after
wheel nuts have been loosened, they
must be re-tightened to the specified
torque after driving 800 km.
