Driving and Operating Caution (Continued) . 9-17 Caution (Continued) . Ignition Positions Avoid downshifting to brake or slow the vehicle when the engine speed will exceed 4,000 rpm. Do not let the engine labor. Never lug the engine in high gear at low speeds. With a manual transmission, shift to the next lower gear. This rule applies at all times, not just during the break-in period. Do not participate in racing events, sport driving schools, or similar activities during this break-in period. Check engine oil with every refueling and add if necessary. Oil and fuel consumption may be higher than normal during the first 2 414 km (1,500 mi). (Continued) . To break in new tires, drive at moderate speeds and avoid hard cornering for the first 322 km (200 mi). New tires do not have maximum traction and may tend to slip. New brake linings also need a break-in period. Avoid making hard stops during the first 322 km (200 mi). This is recommended every time brake linings are replaced. Should the vehicle be used for racing or competitive driving (after break-in), the rear axle lubricant must be replaced before hand. The ignition switch has four different positions. . . . . { Caution Using a tool to force the key to turn in the ignition could cause damage to the switch or break the key. Use the correct key, make sure it is all the way in, and turn it only with your hand. If the key cannot be turned by hand, see your dealer. See Track Events and Competitive Driving on page 9-6.
