tailed information on operating, maintain-
ing and caring for your vehicle.
The first 1000 miles (1500 km)
The more cautiously you treat your vehicle
during the break-in period, the more satis-

moderate vehicle and engine speeds.
During this period, avoid heavy loads
(full throttle driving) and excessive en-
gine speeds (no more than

imum rpm in each gear).
Avoid accelerating by kick-down.

down by shifting to a lower gear using
the gear selector lever.

ing the first 1000 miles (1500 km) after
the engine or the rear differential has been
replaced.
