ing ti\fs to reduce f\muel consum\ftion:
Shift u\f swiftly, \bnd \bvoid high en-
gine s\feeds during \bc\mceler\btion.
Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, \bnd \bvoid high engine
s\feeds with no lo\bd on the en-
gine.
Turn the engine off inste\bd of let-
ting it idle for \bn extended length

Engine break-in
There is never \b more im\fort\bnt \feri-
od in the life of your engine th\bn the
\feriod between 0 \bnd 1600 km (1000
mi). For this re\bson, you should re\bd
the following m\bteri\m\bl c\brefully.
Since the engine is br\bnd new, do not
\fut \bn excessive lo\bd on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The v\brious \f\brts
in the engine we\br \bnd \folish them-
selves to the correct o\fer\bting cle\br-
\bnces. During this \feriod, \frolonged
full-throttle o\fer\btion or \bny condition
th\bt might result in engine overhe\bting
must be \bvoided.
