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.

.

Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.
(See “Engine oil and oil filter recommenda-
tion” in the “9. Technical and consumer
