Introduction
By  following  a  few  simple  precau-
tions  for  the  first  1,000  km  you  may
add  to  the  performance,  economy
and life of your vehicle.
•Do not race the engine.
•Whilst driving, keep your engine
speed  (rpm,  or  revolutions  per
minute)  between  2,000  rpm  and
4,000 rpm.
•Do not maintain a single speed for
long  periods  of  time,  either  fast  or
slow. Varying  engine  speed  is
needed  to  properly  run-in  the
engine.
•Avoid hard stops, except in emer-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
•Don't tow a trailer during the first
2,000 km of operation.

What to do in an emergency
6
Use of compact spare tyres 
(if equipped) 
Compact  spare  tyres  are  designed
for  emergency  use  only. Drive  care-
fully  on  the  compact  spare  tyre  and
always follow the safety precautions.
When driving with the compact spare
tyre mounted to your vehicle:
•Check the tyre pressure after
installing  the  compact  spare  tyre.
The  compact  spare  tyre  should  be
inflated to 420 kPa (60 psi).
•Do not take this vehicle through an
automatic car wash whilst the com-
pact spare tyre is installed.
•Do not use the compact spare tyre
on  any  other  vehicle  because  this
tyre  has  been  designed  especially
for  your  vehicle.
•The compact spare tyre's tread life
is  shorter  than  a  regular  tyre.
Inspect  your  compact  spare  tyre
regularly  and  replace  worn  com-
pact spare tyres with the same size
and  design,  mounted  on  the  same
wheel.
•Do not use more than one compact
spare tyre at a time.
•Do not tow a trailer whilst the com-
pact spare tyre is installed.
When  the  original  tyre  and  wheel
are repaired and reinstalled on the
vehicle, the lug nut torque must be
set  correctly. The  correct  lug  nut
tightening  torque  is  11~13  kgf·m
(79~94 lbf·ft).
NOTICE
To   p r e v e n t   c o m p a c t   s p a r e   t y r e
failure  and  loss  of  control  pos-
sibly resulting in an accident:
•Use  the  compact  spare  tyre
only in an emergency.
•NEVER  operate  your  vehicle
over 80 km/h.
•Do  not  exceed  the  vehicle’s
maximum  load  rating  or  the
load  carrying  capacity  shown
on  the  sidewall  of  the  com-
pact spare tyre.
•Do not use the compact spare
tyre  continuously. Repair  or
replace  the  original  tyre  as
soon as possible to avoid fail-
ure of the compact spare tyre.
