BREAK-IN SCHEDULE
5-132Starting and driving

∙ Keep your engine tuned up.
∙ Follow the recommended scheduledmaintenance.
∙ Keep the tires inflated to the correct pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.
∙ Keep the front wheels in correct align- ment. Improper alignment increases tire
wear and lowers fuel economy.
∙ Use the recommended viscosity engine oil. For additional information, refer to
“Recommended SAE viscosity number” in
the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.
∙ Please reset the fuel economy meter first in order to display the correct fuel
economy rate. If any malfunction occurs in the Intelligent
AWD system while the engine is running,
messages are displayed in the meter.
If the AWD error warning message is dis-
played, there may be a malfunction in the
Intelligent AWD system. Reduce vehicle
speed and have your vehicle checked as soon
