Caution
Follow these recommended
guidelines during the first
2 414 km (1 500 mi) of driving this
vehicle. Parts have a running-in
period and performance will be
better in the long run.
.
For the first 2 414 km
(1 500 mi):
.
Avoid full throttle starts and
abrupt stops.
.
Do not exceed 4000
engine rpm.
.
Avoid driving at any one
constant speed, fast or slow.
.
Do not drive above 129 km/h
(80 mph).
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
.
Avoid downshifting to brake
or slow the vehicle when the
engine speed will exceed
4,000 rpm.
.
Do not let the engine labour.
Never lug the engine in high
gear at low speeds. With a
manual gearbox, shift to the
next lower gear. This rule
applies at all times, not just
during the running-in period.
.
Do not participate in racing
events, sport driving schools,
or similar activities during this
running-in period.
.
Check engine oil with every
refuelling and add if
necessary. Oil and fuel
consumption may be higher
than normal during the first
2 414 km (1 500 mi).
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
.
To run in new tyres, drive at
moderate speeds and avoid
hard cornering for the first
322 km (200 mi). New tyres
do not have maximum
traction and may tend to slip.
.
New brake linings also need
a running-in period. Avoid
braking hard during the first
322 km (200 mi). This is
recommended every time
brake linings are replaced.
.
Should the vehicle be used
for racing or competitive
driving (after run-in), the rear
axle lubricant must be
replaced beforehand.
