Operation

In the “Operation” section you will find

detailed information on operating, main-

taining and caring for your vehicle.

The first 1000 miles (1500 km)

The more cautiously you treat your vehicle

during the break-in period, the more satis-

fied you will be with its performance later

on.

앫 Drive your vehicle during the first

1000 miles (1500 km) at varying but

moderate vehicle and engine speeds.

앫 During this period, avoid heavy loads

(full throttle driving) and excessive

engine speeds (no more than

2

/

3

of

maximum rpm in each gear).

앫 Shift gears in a timely manner.

앫 Avoid accelerating by kick-down.

앫 Do not attempt to slow the vehicle

down by shifting to a lower gear using

the gear selector lever.

앫 Select positions 3, 2 or 1 only when

driving at moderate speeds (for hill

driving).

After 1000 miles (1500 km) you may

gradually increase vehicle and engine

speeds to the permissible maximum.

All of the above instructions, as may apply

to your vehicle type, also apply when driv-

ing the first 1000 miles (1500 km) after

the engine, the transfer case, the front dif-

ferential or the rear differential has been

replaced.

i

Always obey applicable speed limits.
