NEW VEHICLE
BREAK-IN PERIOD
NOTICE
Your vehicle doesn't need an
elaborate "break-in", however it
will perform better in the long
run if you follow these
guidelines:
• Keep your speed at 90 km/h
or less for the first 800 km.
• Don't drive at a constant
speed - fast or slow - for
the first 800 km. Don't make
full-throttle starts.
NOTICE
(Continued)
• Avoid downshifting to brake
or slow the vehicle.
• Avoid making hard stops for
the first 320 km or so. Hard
stops with new brake linings
can mean premature wear.
Follow this "break-in" guide-
line every time you get new
brake linings.
• Do not tow a trailer during
"break-in".
Following break-in, engine
speed and load can be
gradually increased.

KEYS

Children can be seriously
injured or killed if caught in the
path of a closing window.
Do not leave children
unattended in the vehicle.
