Break-in recommendations

Advanced automobile manufacturing techniques permit you to
operate your new vehicle without requiring a long break-in
period of low-speed driving.
However, you can add to the future performance and economy
of your vehicle by observing the following precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km).
Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in
period.
Avoid revving the engine. For vehicles with turbocharger,
do not exceed 5,000 rpm for the first 600 miles (1,000
km).
3
Avoid rough driving such as fast starts, sudden accelera-
tion, prolonged high-speed driving and sudden braking.
These would have a detrimental effect on the engine and
also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, which
could result in malfunction of the engine components. Be
particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low
gear.
Do not overload the vehicle. Observe the seating capacity
(See "Cargo load precautions" on page 4-12).
Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.
