Introduction  
VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS  
Biodiesel  
No special break-in period is needed. By  
following a few simple precautions for the  
first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to  
the performance, economy and life of  
your vehicle.  
CAUTION  
Commercially supplied Diesel blends of  
no more than 7% biodiesel, commonly  
known as "B7 Diesel" may be used in  
your vehicle if Biodiesel meets EN 14214  
or equivalent specifications. (EN stands  
for "European Norm"). The use of biofu-  
els exceeding 7% made from rapeseed  
methyl ester (RME), fatty acid methyl  
ester (FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester  
(VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceeding  
7% with biodiesel will cause increased  
wear or damage to the engine and fuel  
system. Repair or replacement of worn or  
damaged components due to the use of  
non approved fuels will not be covered by  
the manufactures warranty.  
Do not let any gasoline or water  
enter the tank. This would make it  
necessary to drain it out and to  
bleed the lines to avoid jamming the  
injection pump and damaging the  
engine.  
• Do not race the engine.  
• While 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 break-in the engine.  
• Avoid hard stops, except in emergen-  
cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop-  
erly.  
CAUTION - Diesel Fuel  
(if equipped with DPF)  
It is recommended to use the regu-  
lated automotive diesel fuel for  
diesel vehicle equipped with the  
DPF system.  
• Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000  
km (1,200 miles) of operation.  
If you use diesel fuel including high  
sulfur (more than 50 ppm sulfur) and  
unspecified additives, it can cause  
the DPF system to be damaged and  
white smoke can be emitted.  
CAUTION  
• Never use any fuel, whether  
diesel, B7 biodiesel or otherwise,  
that fails to meet the latest petro-  
leum industry specification.  
• Never use any fuel additives or  
treatments that are not recom-  
mended or approved by the vehi-  
cle manufacturer.
