RUNNING IN (Petrol Engine)
The longevity and performance of the vehicle
are greatly affected by the care exercised
during the first 1,000 miles of motoring. Be-
cause of modern manufacturing techniques,
rigid guidelines regarding maximum road
speeds have become unnecessary. However,
certain precautions should be observed in
order to obtain the best possible performance
and useful life from the vehicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a load
(i.e revving the engine in neutral).
2) During the first 500 miles the maximum
engine speed should be restricted to 3,000
rpm and gradually increased thereafter.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation.
The internal components will become run in
more quickly if the operation speed is varied
during the running-in period.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use the
gearbox freely and avoid large throttle open-
ings when the engine speed is below 1,500
rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maximum
throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100
miles of urban motoring or 1,000 miles of
motorway driving to allow the friction fac-
ings of the brake pads and shoes to bed
against the discs and drums properly.
7) No trailer towing should be undertaken
during the running in period.

RUNNING IN (Diesel Engine)
The longevity and performance of the vehicle
are greatly affected by the care exercised
during the first 1,000 miles of motoring. Be-
cause of modern manufacturing techniques,
rigid guidelines regarding maximum road
speeds have become unnecessary. However,
certain precautions should be observed in
order to obtain the best possible performance
and useful life from the vehicle.
1) Do not race the engine without a load
(i.e revving the engine in neutral).
2) During the first 600 miles the maximum
engine speed should be restricted to 3,000
rpm and gradually increased thereafter.
And whilst driving, keep under three quar-
ters of maximum vehicle speed.
3) Avoid prolonged constant speed operation.
The internal components of the engine will
become run in more quickly if the operation
speed is varied during the running in period.
4) Never allow the engine to labour. Use the
gearbox freely and avoid large throttle open-
ings when the engine speed is below 1,500
rpm.
5) Avoid rapid acceleration and maximum
throttle openings.
6) Avoid harsh braking during the first 100

ings of the brake pads and shoes to bed

7) No trailer towing should be undertaken

Keys
AX10020A-1
All of the locks fitted to the vehicle are oper-
ated by the same key. However, since it is
possible to lock the doors without the use of
the key, care should be exercised to ensure
that the key does not become locked inside
the vehicle by mistake.
NOTE:
If you make your own duplicate key, you
will not be able to cancel the system or
start the engine.
