Introduction

ICONS

Indicates a warning. Read the
following section on Warnings for
a full explanation.

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 toward this
aim.

BREAKING IN YOUR VEHICLE

There are no particular breaking-in
rules for your vehicle. Simply avoid
driving too fast during the first
1 600 km (1 000 miles). Vary
speeds frequently. This is
necessary to give the moving parts
a chance to break in.

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.
