OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
RUNNING-IN
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 1000 km 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
bed in better if you vary your speed.
• Do not exceed 90 km/h.
• Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid
full throttle starts.
• If possible, avoid hard braking,
especially during the first 300 km
of driving.
• Do not drive slowly with the
transmission in a high gear.
• Drive the vehicle at moderate engine
speeds.

CAUTION
• To help avoid clutch damage, do not
use the clutch pedal as a footrest
while driving or use the clutch to
keep the vehicle stationary on a hill.
Depress the clutch fully when
changing gear.
• When changing gears or starting off,
do not race the engine. Racing the
engine can shorten engine life and
prevent smooth operation.
BRAKING
The distance needed to bring any vehicle
to a halt increases with the speed of the
vehicle. The braking distance needed, for
example, at 60 km/h will be approximately
4 times greater than the braking distance
needed at 20 km/h. Start to brake the
vehicle when there is plenty of distance
between your vehicle and the stopping point,
and slow down gradually.
If water gets into the brake drums,
brake performance may become poor
and unpredictable. After driving
through water or washing the
underside of the vehicle, test the
brakes while driving at a slow speed
to see if they have maintained their
normal effectiveness. If the brakes are
less effective than normal, dry them
by repeatedly applying the brakes
while driving slowly until the brakes
have regained their normal
effectiveness.
