NOTE:
To utilize your vehicle effi-
ciently, avoid operating the engine at un-
necessary high speeds. To optimize fuel
efficiency, the vehicle should be shifted
to the next highest gear position at the
proper engine/road speed. This will de-
crease operational noise and help re-
duce environmental pollution.
NOTE:
The engine is also at risk if it is
operated at too low an engine speed. It
should be shifted to a lower gear posi-
tion in order to maintain the proper en-
gine speed.
NOTE:
The engine must be at normal
operating temperature before operating
the engine at high speed.
Braking System Break-In
Recommendations
The brakes cannot provide the ideal
friction to stop during the vehicle’s
first 200 km of operation. You should
depress the brake pedal firmly to in-
crease friction and improve stopping
capability.
Tire and Wheel Break-In
Recommendations
New tires require a brief break-in pe-
riod. Your vehicle should be driven
slowly and especially carefully within
the first 100 km of driving.
Vehicle wheel nuts must be re-
tightened to the specified torque after
the first 800 km of driving. Also, when
a wheel has been replaced or after
wheel nuts have been loosened, they
must be re-tightened to the specified
torque after driving 800 km.
