lubrication materials are significant

steps towards this aim. Information in this respect is highlighted in this

guide with the tree symbol.

BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE

There are no particular guidelines for breaking-in your vehicle. During

the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles) of driving, vary speeds frequently. This is

recommended to give the moving parts a chance to break in.

instructions could result in personal injury.

Introduction

WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may

become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may

illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.

Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the

bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have

the respective system inspected immediately.

Check engine

Illuminates briefly to ensure the

system is functional. If it comes on

after the engine is started, one of

the engine’s emission control

systems may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a

driveability concern being noted and will not require towing.

Light turns on solid:

Temporary malfunctions may cause your light to illuminate. Examples

are:

•The vehicle has run out of fuel.

•Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

•The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely

tightened.

These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank

with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly

installing and securely tightening the fuel cap. After three driving cycles

without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the light

should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup

followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is

required.
