CAUTION
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),
follow these recommendations to ob-
tain maximum engine performance and
ensure the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to
follow these recommendations may re-
sult in shortened engine life and re-
duced engine performance.
¼ Avoid driving for long periods at constant
speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the
engine over 4,000 rpm.
¼ Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
¼ Avoid quick starts.
¼ Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
¼ Do not tow a trailer for the first 500 miles
(800 km).
¼ Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Maintain
cruising speeds with a constant accelerator
position.
¼ Drive at moderate speeds on the highway.
Driving at high speed will lower fuel economy.
¼ Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking.
Maintain a safe distance behind other ve-
hicles.
¼ Use a proper gear range which suits road
conditions. On level roads, shift into high gear
as soon as possible.
¼ Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
¼ Keep your engine tuned up.
¼ Follow the recommended periodic mainte-
nance schedule.
¼ Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres-
sure. Low tire pressure will increase tire wear
and lower fuel economy.
¼ Keep the front wheels in correct alignment.
Improper alignment will increase tire wear
and lower fuel economy.
¼ Air conditioner operation lowers fuel
economy. Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
¼ When cruising at highway speeds, it is more
economical to use the air conditioner and
leave the windows closed to reduce drag.
¼ Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.
See “Engine oil and oil filter recommenda-
tion” in the “9. Technical and consumer infor-
mation” section.
