whenever the brake pads and/or brake
discs are replaced.
Brake Overheating Driving on mountain roads with steep
slopes or a sports use of the vehicle
could overheat the brake system
components. In these conditions, the
parking brake must not be used since
the push of the power actuator might
not be sufficient to ensure vehicle
braking, especially on a slope.
Drive normally without braking to
allow the brakes to cool down a few
minutes before stopping. The
automatic or manual activation of the
parking brake will ensure vehicle
braking.
Brake overheating could also cause
“squeals” and “vibration”. Use of the Engine Breaking-In Today's most modern production
methods are designed to provide
extremely precise construction and
assembly of components. However,
moving parts do undergo a settling
process, basically in the first hours of
vehicle operation.
Do not drive keeping at a constant
high speed rate for a prolonged time.
While cruising, brief full-throttle
acceleration within the limits of local
traffic laws contributes to a good
break-in. Wide-open throttle
acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine
at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil changes
should be consistent with anticipated
climate conditions under which vehicle
operations will occur. For the
recommended viscosity and quality
grades, see “Refillings” in section
“Features and Specifications”.
A new engine may consume some oil
during its first few thousand
miles/kilometers of operation. This
should be considered as a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as
an indication of malfunction.
Specific Requirements
Avoid exceeding 5000 rpm for the first
620 mi trip (1000 km).
After starting the vehicle, do not
exceed 4000 rpm until the engine has
warmed up sufficiently (coolant
temperature: 149-158°F /65 70°).
While Driving Never travel with the tachometer
indicator approaching the peak rpm,
not even downhill. When the
tachometer indicator is approaching
the peak rpm (red colored zone), take
precautions to avoid exceeding that
limit.
Ensure proper operation of different
devices checking their respective
control telltales.Driving
