Indicates a warning.

Read the following

section on Warnings

for a full explanation of

them.

Indicates that vehicle

information related to

recycling and other

environmental

concerns will follow.

We must all play our part in protecting the

environment. Correct vehicle usage and the

authorized disposal of waste cleaning and lubrication

materials are significant steps towards this aim.

WARNINGS

How can you reduce the risk of personal injury and

prevent possible damage to others, your vehicle and

its equipment?

In this owner’s guide, answers to such questions are

contained in comments highlighted by the warning

triangle symbol.

BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE

There are no particular breaking-in rules for your

vehicle. Simply avoid driving too briskly during the

first 1,600 km (1,000 miles) of driving. Vary speeds

frequently. This is necessary to give the moving

parts a chance to break in.

If possible, you should avoid full use of the brakes

for the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles).

From 1,600 km (1,000 miles) onwards you can

gradually increase the performance of your vehicle

up to the permitted maximum speeds.
