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.
