prohibited.

Driving at the speed in excess of 100
km/h is usually not allowed.

Driving at the maximum speed for
each gear should be avoided.
Regulation of running
in within the range of
1,000-1,500 km:

Driving speed can be gradually
increased to the maximum, or engine
operates at its allowable highest
revolution.
Attentions should be
paid after the period of
running in:
In the case of driving the vehicle fitted
with engine tachometer, the allowable
maximum revolution of engine is 6,000
r/min in a short time. While shifting gear
manually, the vehicle must be shifted to
the neighboring high gear at latest before
the needle of tachometer is in the red
indicative range.
Engine should be avoided to
operate at unnecessary high
speed. It should be shifted to the high gear
as early as possible in favor of saving fuel
and decreasing operational noise and
helping to reduce environmental pollution.
While in driving, the engine is also
unfavorable with too low revolution. It
should be shifted to the proper gear at
proper time.
With cold engine, whether in NEUTRAL
or running gears, do not let engine work at
maximum revolution state.
A new tire has no optimal adhesive force
when first used. Therefore, a new tire
requires running-in; when traveling in first
100 kilometers, drive slowly and take
extra care and precaution.
New brake lining is also required to run in.
In view of the fact that within the driving
of first 200 km, brake cannot produce
ideal friction with slightly bad braking
effect, brake pedal can be depressed with
moderately violent force. In this stage, if
damping-effect is a little poor, increase
pressure on pedal properly. Such case also
applies to each replacement of brake lining
afterwards.
Wheel nuts of new vehicle must be
tightened to the specified torque over
again after driving for 800 km. The torque
value is specified in the chapter of
“Parameters of Specification” of this
manual. Likewise, in the event that wheel
