CAUTION
The future performance and
reliability of the engine depends on
the care and restraint exercised
during its early life. It is especially
important to observe the following
precautions during the initial 960 km
(600 miles) of vehicle operation.
• After starting, do not race the
engine. Warm it up gradually.
• Avoid prolonged vehicle operation
at a constant speed. Moving parts
will break in better if you vary your
speed.
• Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid
full throttle starts.
• Avoid hard braking, especially
during the first 320 km (200 miles)
of driving.
• Do not drive slowly with the
transmission in a high gear.
• Drive the vehicle at moderate
engine speeds.
• Do not tow a trailer during the first
960 km (600 miles) of vehicle
operation.
Catalytic Converter
(if equipped)
80G106
The purpose of the catalytic converter is
to minimize the amount of har mful
pollutants in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use
of leaded fuel in vehicles equipped with
catalytic converters is prohibited, because
lead deactivates the pollutant-reducing
components of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life
of the vehicle under normal usage and
when unleaded fuel is used. No special
maintenance is required on the converter.
However, it is very important to keep the
engine properly tuned. Engine misfiring,
which can result from an improperly tuned
engine, loose wiring etc. may cause
overheating of the catalyst. This may result
in permanent heat damage to the catalyst
and other vehicle components.
CAUTION
To minimize the possibility of
catalyst or other vehicle damage:
• Maintain the engine in the proper
operating condition.
• In the event of an engine
malfunction, par ticularly one
involving engine misfire or other
apparent loss of performance, have
the vehicle serviced promptly.
• Do not turn off the engine or
interrupt the ignition when the
transmission is in gear and the
vehicle is in motion.
• Do not try to start the engine by
pushing or towing the vehicle, or
coasting down a hill.
• Do not idle the engine with any
spark plug wires disconnected or
removed, such as during
diagnostic testing.
• Do not idle the vehicle for
prolonged periods if idling seems
rough or there are other
malfunctions.
• Do not allow the fuel tank to get
near the empty level.
