Starting and Operating Instructions

■ NEW VEHICLE BREAK-
IN PERIOD
NOTICE
Your vehicle doesn't need an
elaborate "break-in", however it
will perform better in the long
run if you follow these
guidelines:
• Keep your speed at 90 km/h
(55 mph) or less for the first
800 km (500 miles).
• Don't drive at a constant
speed - fast or slow - for the
first 800 km (500 miles).
Don't make full-throttle starts.
• Avoid downshifting to brake
or slow your vehicle.
. . . 240
CAUTION
• Avoid making hard stops for
the first 320 km (200 miles)
or so. Hard stops with new
brake linings can mean pre-
mature wear. Follow this
"break-in" guideline every
time you get new brake
linings.
Following break-in, engine
speed and load can be gradual-
ly increased.
