BREAKING-IN
Tires
New tires need to be run-in for
approximately 500 km. During this time,
you may experience different driving
characteristics.
Brakes and Clutch
Avoid heavy use of the brakes and clutch
if possible for the first 150 km in town and
for the first 1,500 km on freeways.
Engine
Avoid driving too fast during the first
1,500 km. Vary your speed frequently and
change up through the gears early. Do not
labor the engine.
Vehicles With a Diesel Engine
During the first 3,000 km, you may notice
a ticking sound when your vehicle slows
down. This is due to adjustments of your
new diesel engine and is normal.
GENERAL DRIVING POINTS
Vehicles with a diesel engine
If the low fuel level warning lamp comes
on, refuel as soon as possible. If you
continue driving without refueling, the
engine will start to run unevenly. This
indicates that you are about to run out of
fuel. Refuel immediately.
REDUCED ENGINE
PERFORMANCE
WARNING
Continued operation of an
overheating engine will increase the
temperature further, and cause the
engine to shut down completely.
Drive the overheating engine only for a brief
amount of time to prevent permanent
damage. The engine will continue to
operate with limited power. The distance
you can travel depends on ambient
temperature, vehicle load, and terrain.
If the needle in the engine coolant
temperature gauge moves to the upper
limit position, the engine is overheating.
See
If the engine temperature continues to rise,
the fuel supply to the engine will reduce.
The air conditioning will also turn off and
the engine cooling fan will operate.
When this happens, immediately:
•
Stop your vehicle as soon as possible.
•
Turn off the engine to prevent severe
engine damage.
•
Wait for the engine to cool down.
•
Check the coolant level. See
•
Have the vehicle checked by an
authorized dealer.
