CAUTION
During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km), follow
these recommendations to obtain maximum
engine performance and ensure the future reli-
ability and economy of your new vehicle. Fail-
ure to follow these recommendations may re-
sult 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.
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 pres-
sure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
●
Keep the wheels in correct alignment. Im-
proper alignment increases tire wear and
lowers fuel economy.
●
Climate

operation
lowers
fuel
economy. 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.

MENDATION” in the “9. Technical and con-
sumer information” section.)
