During the first 2,000 km (1,200 miles), follow
these recommendations to obtain maximum en-
gine performance and ensure the future reliability
and economy of your new vehicle. Failure to
follow these recommendations may result in
shortened engine life and reduced engine per-
formance.
쐌 Avoid driving for long periods at constant
speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the
engine over 4,000 rpm.
쐌 Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
쐌 Avoid quick starts.
쐌 Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
쐌 Do not tow a trailer for the first 800 km (500
miles).
쐌 Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Maintain
cruising speeds with a constant accelerator
position.
쐌 Drive at moderate speeds on the highway.
Driving at high speed will lower fuel economy.
쐌 Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking.
Maintain a safe distance behind other ve-
hicles.
쐌 Use a proper gear range which suits road
conditions. On level roads, shift into high gear
as soon as possible.
쐌 Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
쐌 Keep your engine tuned up.
쐌 Follow the recommended periodic mainte-
nance schedule.
쐌 Keep the tires inflated at the correct pres-
sure. Low pressure will increase tire wear and
waste fuel.
쐌 Keep the front wheels in correct alignment.
Improper alignment will cause not only tire
wear but also lower fuel economy.
쐌 Air conditioner operation lowers fuel
economy. Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
쐌 When cruising at highway speeds, it is more
economical to use the air conditioner and
leave the windows closed to reduce drag.
