Driving
It is better that warming up the engine according to the
surrounding temperature until the water thermometer
begins to work. In the interest of fuel economy and air
pollution, it is advisable to drive the car within 2 minutes
after warming up.
Note that rapid acceleration and sudden increase of engine
load before reaching the normal operating temperature
may damage the engine.
Parking
After bringing the car to a stop, ALWAYS apply the
handbrake and select N position (AMT) or neutral position
(MT), before releasing the foot brake and switching off the
engine.
After periods of strenuous towing (particularly at high
altitude or in hot weather), it is good practice to allow
the engine to idle for a few minutes before switching off.
This will enable the engine cooling system to continue
operating for a while in order to reduce heat under the
bonnet.
Running-in
The engine, transmission, brakes and tyres need time to
‘bed–in’ and adjust to the demands of everyday motoring.
During the first 1,500km, it is essential that you drive
with consideration for the running-in process and heed the
following advice:
• Do not allow the engine to exceed 3,000rpm in any gear,
or the drive speed to exceed 120km/h.
• Do not operate at full throttle in any gear.
• Do not allow the engine to labour in any gear.
• Do not drive at a constant speed (whatever at high or
low).
• Avoid heavy braking where possible.
After the first 1,500km has been completed, engine speeds
can be gradually increased.
