1–2 BEFORE DRIVING YOUR CAR
RUNNING-IN PERIOD
There are no particular brake-in rules for
your new Rexton. However, following a few
simple precautions for the first few thou-
sand kilometers can add to the good future
performance, economy and long life of your
Rexton.
• Do not race the engine.
• While driving, keep your engine speed
(RPM) below the red zone.
• Avoid full-throttle starts.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies.
This will allow the breaks to bed in prop-
erly.
• Drive at varying speeds, trying not to
“strain” the engine.
• Refrain from towing a trailer or an other
vehicle.
• Avoid harsh operations such as abrupt
start, sudden acceleration and prolonged
high speed driving.
These operations not only have a detri-
mental effect on the engine but also
cause excessive fuel and oil consump-
tion, which could result in the malfunc-
tion of the engine components.
Especially, avoid full-throttle acceleration
in low gear.
BEFORE ENTERING THE CAR
• Ensure that windows, outside rear view
mirrors and lights are clean, undamaged
and unobstructed.
• Visually note inflation condition of tyres.
• Check that all lights, switches and con-
trols work properly.
• Check the area behind the vehicle if you
are about to reverse.
• Check under the vehicle for leaks.
• Check the engine oil level and other fluid/
oil levels in engine compartment.
BEFORE DRIVING OFF
• Be sure you understand your car and
its equipment and how to operate it
safely.
• Adjust your seating position.
• Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
• Ensure that all occupants of the car
have fastened their seat belts.
• Check the operation of the warning
lights when the ignition key is turned to
“ON” position.
• Check all gauges.
• Release the parking brake and ensure
that the brake warning light goes out.
WARNING
Check to ensure that all light, signal-
ing systems and warning indicators
are in working order.
