IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If the Vehicle Has Not Been Driven for a Long Period
ADVICE
• Before using a vehicle that has not been driven for a long period, check the
engine and transmission for oil leakage, and make sure the oil is at the required
levels. If there is insufficient oil, it will not adequately reach and lubricate
components, and a breakdown will result.
• Start the engine and allow it to idle for at least five minutes. Check for abnormal
noises.
• For instructions on warming up the engine, refer to "Starting the Engine" on
page 4-4.
Recommendations for Warming Up the Engine
The engine is sufficiently warmed up
when the needle of the engine coolant
temperature gauge starts to move.
ADVICE
• Do not rev the engine or quickly
accelerate before the engine has
sufficiently warmed up (in other
words, when the engine is cold).
Oil would not have adequately
reached and lubricated components,
so a breakdown would result.
• The exhaust pipe becomes
extremely hot while the engine
is idling. Before warming up the
engine, make sure there is no
flammable material (for example,
grass, waste paper, oil or old tyres)
near the exhaust pipe.
