120 STARTING AND OPERATING
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration
within the limits of local traffic laws contributes
to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle accelera-
tion in low gear can be detrimental and should
be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the
factory is a high-quality energy conserving type
lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with
anticipated climate conditions under which
vehicle operations will occur. For the recom-
mended viscosity and quality grades, refer to
“Dealer Service” in “Servicing And Mainte-
nance” for further information.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its
first few thousand miles (kilometers) of opera-
tion. This should be considered a normal part of
the break-in and not interpreted as a problem.
MODE SELECTOR – IF EQUIPPED
This system allows for three selectable modes,
according to driving style and road conditions.
Normal Mode
Traction+ Mode
Gravity Control Function
The mode selector always remains in the center

approximately half of a second, the corre-
sponding LED will light up and the “Traction+”
mode indicator appears on the display with a

selector counterclockwise and hold in this posi-
tion for half a second. The LED corresponding to
“Normal” mode will light up and the “Traction+”
mode deactivation indication will appear in the
display.
NOTE:
If “Traction+ or “Normal” mode was active
when the engine was stopped, the next time it
is started the mode that was selected will be
reactivated.
CAUTION!
