Periodically check the system via the
following procedure.TIP This check is most reliable if per-
formed with a warmed-up engine.
 See pages 3-2 and 3-13 for switch

1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.
