Advanced automobile manufacturing tech- niques permit you to operate your new vehi-cle without requiring a long break-in period of low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor-mance and economy of your vehicle by observing the following precautions during the first 300 miles (500 km).Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds duringthe break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine. For vehicles with turbocharger, do not exceed 5,000 rpm for the first 600 miles (1,000 km). Avoid rough driving such as fast starts, sudden acceleration, prolonged high- speed driving and sudden braking. Thesewould have a detrimental effect on the engine and also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, which could result inmalfunction of the engine components. Be particularly careful to avoid full accelera- tion while in low gear. Do not overload the vehicle. Observe the seating capacity (See “Cargo load precau- tions” on page 6-11). Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.
