Break-in Period, Fuel Recommendation Break-in Period Help assure your vehicle's future reliability and performance by paying extra attention to how you drive during the first 1,000 km (625 miles). During this period: Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration. Avoid hard braking for the first 300 km (200 miles). Do not change the oil until the scheduled maintenance time. Do not tow a trailer. You should also follow these recommendations with an overhauled or exchanged engine, or when the brakes are replaced. Fuel Recommendation Petrol models Diesel models Your vehicle is designed to operate on Premium/Super unleaded petrol with a Research Octane Number (RON) of 95 or higher. Petrol of the recommended Research Octane Number (RON) may not be available in some areas. In this case, petrol of a lower octane may be used temporarily if it does not cause engine ''knocking.'' This will result in decreased engine performance. Using petrol containing lead will damage your vehicle's emissions controls and engine. This contributes to air pollution. Your vehicle is designed to use only Diesel Fuel (also known as Automotive gas oil and Derv). Your vehicle is not designed to use RME (Rapeseed Methyl Ester). For more information, ask your dealer. The quality of diesel fuel (Derv) can vary in different countries, and only clean and good quality fuel should be used. 332 Before Driving
