1-8 Recommendation to drivers
The way the vehicle is handled when new greatly
affects its subsequent performance and service life.
Observe the following precautions when handling
the new vehicle.
1 Maintenance
The “new vehicle inspection” is very important for
extending the service life of your vehicle. We
strongly recommend that you have this inspection
carried out by an authorized dealer. Be sure to give
the dealer this manual at that time.
During the initial run-in period, oil is quickly contam-
inated. Replace the following oils and oil filter ele-
ments at the time of the “new vehicle inspection”.
At 4,000 km (2,500 miles)
• Engine oil
• Manual transmission gear oil
• Transfer gear oil <FG>
• Front axle housing gear oil <FG>
• Rear axle housing gear oil
WARNING
• When filling the fuel tank using a gun-type
fuel pump, do not continue pumping after
the pump automatically stops. (The tank is
full at this point.) When filling the fuel tank
using any other method, stop as soon as
the surface of the fuel becomes visible
through the opening of the fuel filler. If you
supply so much fuel that it comes up to
the opening, fuel may leak though the
check valve when the vehicle starts
moving and when it stops moving. If fuel
leaks, carefully wipe it all up to prevent the
risk of fire.
• If the pointer of the fuel gauge is above the
“F” mark, do not add the fuel any more.
