CAUTION

During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),

follow these recommendations to ob-

tain maximum engine performance and

ensure the future reliability and econo-

my of your new vehicle. Failure to

follow these recommendations may

result in shortened engine life and

reduced engine performance.

. Avoid driving for long periods at constant

speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the

engine over 4,000 rpm.

. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.

. Avoid quick starts.

. Avoid hard braking as much as possible.

. Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Maintain

cruising speeds with a constant accelerator

position.

. Drive at moderate speeds on the highway.

Driving at high speed lowers fuel economy.

. Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking.

Keep a safe distance behind other vehicles.

. Select a gear range suitable to road condi-

tions.

. Avoid unnecessary engine idling.

. Keep your engine tuned up.

. Follow the recommended periodic mainte-

nance schedule.

. Keep the tires inflated to the correct

pressure. Low tire pressure increases tire

wear and lowers fuel economy.

. Keep the wheels in correct alignment.

Improper alignment increases tire wear and

lowers fuel economy.

. Air conditioner operation lowers fuel econ-

omy. Use the air conditioner only when

necessary.

. When cruising at highway speeds, it is more

economical to use the air conditioner and

leave the windows closed to reduce drag.

. Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.
