No special break-in period is need-
ed. By following a few simple precau-
tions for the first 1,000 km (600

ance, economy and life of your vehi-
cle:
Do not race the engine.
While driving, keep your engine
speed (rpm, or revolutions per
minute) between 2,000 rpm and
4,000 rpm.
Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly break-in the engine.
Avoid hard stops, except in emer-
gencies, to allow the brakes to seat
properly.
Don't tow a trailer during the first
2,000 km (1,200 miles) of opera-
tion.

Never allow passengers to sit
on top of the folded down
seatback while the vehicle is
moving as this is not a proper
seating position and no seat
belts are available for use.
This could result in serious
injury or death in case of an
accident or sudden stop.
Objects carried on the folded
down seatback should not
extend higher than the top of
the front seats. This could
allow cargo to slide forward
and cause injury or damage
