km) The performance and long life of your
vehicle are dependent on how you handle
and care for your vehicle while it is new.
Follow these instructions during the first
1,000 miles (1,600 km):
. Do not race the engine. And do not
allow engine speed to exceed 4,000 rpm
except in an emergency.
. Do not drive at one constant engine or
vehicle speed for a long time, either fast or
slow.
. Avoid starting suddenly and rapid
acceleration, except in an emergency.
. Avoid hard braking, except in an
emergency.
The same break-in procedures should be
applied to an overhauled engine, newly
mounted engine or when brake pads or
brake linings are replaced with new ones. Fuel economy hints The following suggestions will help to save
fuel.
. Select the proper gear position for the
speed and road conditions.

tion. Always accelerate gently until you
reach the desired speed. Then try to
maintain that speed for as long as
possible.

racing the engine.
. Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
. Keep the engine properly tuned.

pressure shown on the tire placard, which
is located under the door latch on the
driver ’ s side. Low pressure will increase
tire wear and fuel consumption.

the vehicle, secure it whenever
you can to prevent it from being
