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.
