Driving tips
New vehicle break-in driving
–
the first 1,600 km (1,000
miles)
The performance and long life of your
vehicle are dependent on how you handle
and care for your vehicle while it is new.
Follow these instructions during the first
1,600 km (1,000 miles):
.
For petrol engine models, do not allow
the engine speed to exceed 4,000 rpm
except in an emergency.
.
For diesel engine models, do not allow
the engine speed to exceed 3,500 rpm
except in an emergency.
.
Do not drive at one constant engine or
vehicle speed for a long time, either fast or
slow.
.
Avoid starting suddenly and rapid
acceleration, except in an emergency.
.
Avoid hard braking, except in an
emergency.
The same break-in procedures should be
applied to an overhauled engine, newly
mounted engine or when brake pads or
brake linings are replaced with new ones.
Fuel economy hints
The following suggestions will help to save
your fuel.
.
Select the proper gear position for the
speed and road conditions.
.
Avoid sudden acceleration or decelera-
tion. Always accelerate gently until you
reach the desired speed. Then try to
maintain that speed for as long as
possible.
.
Do not pump the accelerator and avoid
racing the engine.
.
Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
.
Keep the engine properly tuned.
.
Keep the tires inflated to the correct
pressure shown on the tire placard, which
is located under the door latch on the
driver
’
s side. Low pressure will increase
tire wear and fuel consumption.
.
Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
.
Keep the front and rear wheels in
proper alignment.
.
Avoid carrying unnecessary luggage or
cargo.
.
The indication of the ECO gauge
shows a reference for saving fuel. For
details, refer to
Engine exhaust gas (carbon
monoxide)
WARNING
.
Never inhale engine exhaust gas.
Engine exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, a colorless
and odorless gas which is dan-
gerous, or even lethal, if inhaled.
.
Always properly maintain the en-
gine exhaust system to prevent
engine exhaust gas from enter-
ing the vehicle.
.
Never run the engine in a closed
space, such as a garage, except
for the brief time needed to drive
the vehicle in or out of it.
.
Avoid remaining in a parked
vehicle for a long time while the
engine is running. If that is
unavoidable, then use the venti-
lation fan to force fresh air into
the vehicle.
.
Always keep the front ventilator
inlet grille free from snow, leaves
or other obstructions to ensure
that the ventilation system al-
ways works properly.
.
