Running-In

NOTICE
The future performance and reliabil-
ity of the engine depends on the care
and restraint exercised during its
early life. It is especially important to
observe the following precautions
during the initial 1000 km (600 miles)
of vehicle operation.
• After starting, do not race the
engine. Warm it up gradually.
• Avoid prolonged vehicle operation
at a constant speed. Moving parts
will break in better if you vary your
speed.
• Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid
full throttle starts.
• If possible, avoid hard braking,
especially during the first 320 km
(200 miles) of driving.
• Do not drive slowly with the trans-
mission in a high gear.
• Drive the vehicle at moderate
engine speeds.
and
• Do not tow a trailer during the first
1000 km (600 miles) of vehicle
operation.
Catalytic Converter
(if equipped)
if equipped
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to
minimize the amount of harmful pollutants
in your vehicle's exhaust. Use of leaded
fuel in vehicles equipped with catalytic
converters is prohibited, because lead
deactivates the pollutant-reducing compo-
nents of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life of
the vehicle under normal usage and when
unleaded fuel is used. No special mainte-
nance is required on the converter. How-
ever, it is very important to keep the engine
properly tuned. Engine misfiring, which
can result from an improperly tuned
engine, may cause overheating of the cat-
alyst. This may result in permanent heat
