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 at the time of the
“new vehicle inspection”.
At 4‚000 km (2‚500 miles)
•
Engine oil
•
Manual transmission gear oil
•
Axle housing gear oil
2 Maximum engine speed during run-in
period
To avoid overburdening the new engine, limit
engine RPM to those listed below for the first 1‚000
km (600 miles).
Then, run in your vehicle step by step at various
speeds, beginning with low gears.
