3. Driving Directions
Breaking in tires and brake pads
To break in new tires, drive at moderate speeds
within the first 500 km.
Be sure to break in new brake pads carefully
for the first 200-300 km to achieve the optimal
friction state.
Hint
• If new tires and brake pads had not
been run in, they would not be pro -
vided with the best adhesion and
friction. Be sure to drive carefully
during the first 500km to run in the
tires well to avoid accidents.
• You should also follow these recom -
mendations when the brake pads
are replaced.
• Keep an appropriate vehicle-to-
vehicle distance and try to avoid
emergency braking while driving.
This is because new tires and brake
pads which have not been run in
can cause accidents easily.
• If the brakes are affected with damp
or frozen or you drive on salt roads,
the braking effect can drop.
Hint
• Heavy workload can cause your
brakes overheat while going down a
steep hill. We recommend you slow
down by shifting to a lower gear so
that you can get extra braking from
the engine to reduce your brakes’
workload.
• Always apply the brake according
to the road and traffic conditions.
Avoid unnecessary application of
brake pedal. Doing so can cause
brake overheating, resulting in a
longer braking distance and exces -
sive wear.
• Do not coast by turning off your
engine. Since the brake booster is
disabled, the braking distance will
get extended greatly, resulting in ac-
cidents.
• Do not prolong the service time of
the brake fluid. Be sure to replace
the brake fluid according to the
maintenance intervals in the War-
ranty Booklet.
