To resume the preset speed, push and

(40 km/h).

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 econo-
my of your new vehicle. Failure to
follow these recommendations may
result in shortened engine life and
reduced engine performance.

. Avoid driving for long periods at constant

speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the
engine over 4,000 rpm.

. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
. Avoid quick starts.
. Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
. Do not tow a trailer for the first 500 miles

(800 km). Your engine, axle or other parts
could be damaged.

. Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Maintain

cruising speeds with a constant accelerator
position.

. Drive at moderate speeds on the highway.

Driving at high speed lowers fuel economy.

. Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking.

Keep a safe distance behind other vehicles.

. Select a gear range suitable to road condi-

tions.

. Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
. Keep your engine tuned up.
. Follow the recommended periodic mainte-

nance schedule.

. Keep the tires inflated to the correct

pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.

. Keep the wheels in correct alignment.

Improper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.

. Air conditioner operation lowers fuel econ-

omy. Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.

. When cruising at highway speeds, it is more

economical to use the air conditioner and
leave the windows closed to reduce drag.
