Advanced

manufacturing
tech-

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
during
the break-in period. Avoid
revving
the
engine.
For
vehicles
with
turbochar
ger
, 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.
These
would
have
a detrimental
effect
on
the
engine
and
also
cause
increased
fuel
and
oil
consumption,
which
could
result
in
malfunction
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
“Car
go
load
precau-
tions”
on
page
6-10).
Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.

The
electronic
immobilizer
is designed
to sig-
nificantly
reduce
the
possibility
of
vehicle
theft.
The
purpose
of
the
system
is to immo-
bilize
the
vehicle
if
an
invalid
start
is
attempted.
A valid
start
attempt
can
only
be
achieved
(subject
to certain
conditions)
using
a key “registered” to the immobilizer system.All
of the
keys
provided
with
your

cle
have
been
programmed
to
the
vehicle’
s
