Your vehicle does not need an elaborate break −in. But following a few simple tips for the first 1600 km (1000 miles) can add to the future economy and long life of your vehicle: Fuel Fuel used for your vehicle is compressed natural gas (CNG). The main ingredient of the natural gas is flammable, colorless methane, which generates lower emissions compared with a gasoline−engine vehicle. The natural gas you use for refueling must meet NFPA−52 and SAE−J1616 standards. If you smell natural gas or hear the sound of leaking fuel while refueling, stop refueling immediately. If you smell or hear fuel leaking other than when refueling, shut off the fuel system. (See "If you suspect the fuel is leaking" in Part 4.) D Do not drive over 88 km/h (55 mph). D Run the engine at moderate speed between 2000 and 4000 rpm. D Avoid full−throttle starts. D Try to avoid hard stops during the first 300 km (200 miles). D Do not drive slowly with the manual transmission in a high gear. CAUTION D Do not drive for a long time at any single speed, either fast or slow. D Natural gas is flammable and explosive. Take due care to keep away from fire and sparks at all times. D Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500 miles). D If you suspect the fuel is leaking while refueling, stop refueling immediately. If leaking fuel is ignited, an explosion or fire could occur, causing death or serious injury. 103
