Driving and Operating • Avoid downshifting to brake or slow the vehicle when the engine speed will exceed 4000 RPM. 8-17 • To break in new tires, drive at moderate speeds and avoid hard cornering for the first 322 km/200 miles. New tires do not have maximum traction and may tend to slip. Ignition Positions • 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. • New brake linings also need a break-in period. Avoid making hard stops during the first 322 km/200 miles. This is recommended every time brake linings are replaced. • Do not participate in racing events, sport driving schools, or similar activities during this break-in period. • Should the vehicle be used for racing or competitive driving (after break-in), the rear axle lubricant must be replaced beforehand. The ignition switch has four different positions. Notice: 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/retailer. To shift out of P (Park), turn the ignition to ON/RUN and apply the brake pedal. • 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 miles.
