Starting and Operating
New Vehicle Break-In
Follow these recommended guidelines
during the first 2 400 km (1,500 mi) of
driving this vehicle. Parts have a
break-in period and per formance will
be better in the long run.
For the first 2 400 km (1,500 mi):
.
Avoid full throttle starts and
abrupt stops.
.
Do not exceed 4000 engine rpm.
.
Avoid driving at any one constant
speed, fast or slow.
.
Avoid downshifting to brake or
slow the vehicle when the engine
speed will exceed 4000 rpm.
.
Do not let the engine labor. Never
lug the engine in high gear at low
speeds.
.
Do not participate in track events,
sport driving schools, or similar
activities during this break-in
period.
.
Check engine oil with every
refueling and add if necessary. Oil
and fuel consumption may be
higher than normal during the
first 2 400 km (1,500 mi).
.
To break in new tires, drive at
moderate speeds and avoid hard
cornering for the first
300 km (200 mi). New tires do not
have maximum traction and may
tend to slip.
.
New brake linings also need a
break-in period. Avoid making
hard stops during the first
300 km (200 mi). This is
recommended every time brake
linings are replaced.
