Breaking-in
Today's most modern methods of
production afford high precision in the
construction and coupling of
components. However, the moving
parts do undergo a settling process, in
the first hours of the vehicle operation.
Engine and transmission
Avoid exceeding 5000 r.p.m. for the
first 620 mi. (1000 km).
After starting the vehicle, do not
exceed 4000 r.p.m. until the engine has
warmed up sufficiently (water
temperature: 149-158 °F (65-70 °C).
Do not drive keeping the engine at a
constant high speed rate for a
prolonged time.
While driving
Never travel with the tachometer
indicator approaching the peak r.p.m. -
not even downhill.
WARNING: Under normal conditions,
all the red light warning indicators on
the instrument panel multi-function
display should be off. When they
illuminate, they indicate a malfunction
in the relative system. The only
exception is the engine oil level
warning light, see page 246.
Help ensure proper operation of the
various devices by checking the
respective control instruments.
WARNING: Continuing to drive when a
red warning light illuminates could
cause serious damage to the vehicle
and affect its performance.
Do not travel downhill with
the engine off, as the servo
brake will no longer function
due to the vacuum decrease and thus
after a few braking attempts, the
system becomes inefficient.
Also the servo-steering will be
inefficient.
