lSelector lever position: range
l Overdrive switch: ON
lPower/economy changeover switch: Power
2. Carry out one trip monitoring according to the f ollowing drive pattern (from starting of the engine
until ignition is turned off). (Takes approximately 10 minutes.)
the engine is fully warmed up, turn the ignition s witch to OFF.
the engine, accelerate to between 56 64 km/h (35 40 mph) and drive at this speed
for 300 seconds or more. Then stop the vehicle. Bra king and throttle operations can be carried
out during this time.
stopping the vehicle, let the engine run at idle f or 300 seconds or more, and then turn
the ignition
to OFF.
The vehicle should be set to the following conditio n for idling.
