3Break-in recommendations
N00508700314
Advanced automobile manufacturing techniques permit you to
operate your new vehicle without requiring a long break-in
period of low-speed driving.
However, you can add to the future performance and economy
of your vehicle by observing the following precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km).
Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in
period.

Avoid revving the engine. For vehicles equipped with tur-
bocharger, do not exceed 5,000 rpm for the first 600 miles
(1,000 km).


Avoid rough driving such as fast starts, sudden accelera-
tion, prolonged high-speed driving and sudden braking.
These would have a detrimental effect on the engine and
also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, which
could result in malfunction of the engine components. Be
particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low
gear.


Do not overload the vehicle. Observe the seating capacity
(See “Cargo load precautions” on page 4-12).


Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.

not be measured.


The initial (default) setting is “Auto reset mode”.


Average fuel consumption may vary depend on the driv-
ing conditions (road conditions, how you drive, etc.) The
actual fuel consumption may differ from the fuel con-
sumption displayed, so treat the fuel consumption dis-
played as just a rough guideline.


The average fuel consumption display memories for auto
reset mode and manual reset mode are erased if the battery
is disconnected.


The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
{mpg (US), mpg (UK), L/100 km or km/L}.

above the average fuel consumption, it can help you drive with
the better fuel consumption.NOTE

When the momentary fuel consumption cannot be mea-
sured, a bar graph is not shown.
