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 recommenda-
tions 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.

.

Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Maintain
cruising speeds with a constant accelerator
position.

.

Drive at moderate speeds on the highway.

.

Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking.
Keep a safe distance behind other vehicles.

.

Select a gear range suitable to road condi-
tions.

.

Avoid unnecessary prolonged engine idling.

.

Keep your engine tuned up.

.

Follow the recommended periodic mainte-
nance schedule.

.

Keep the tires inflated at the correct
pressure. Improper tire pressure will in-
crease wear and waste fuel.

.

Make sure the front wheels are properly
aligned. Improper alignment will cause pre-
mature tire wear and lower 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.
