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 4-13).

Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
N00630200182
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occu-
pants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX
lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and pas-
sengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passen-
gers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of
cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the
“XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five
150 lbs. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load
capacity calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your
trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this
manual to determine how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.NOTE
The above steps for determining correct load limit were
written in accordance with U.S.A. regulations.
Your vehicle cannot tow a trailer, so step 6 is irrelevant.
