The first 1000 miles (1500 km)
In the “Operation” section you will find de-
tailed information on operating, maintain-
ing and caring for your vehicle.
The more cautiously you treat your vehicle
during the break-in period, the more satis-
fied you will be with its performance later
on.
After 1000 miles (1500 km) you may grad-
ually increase vehicle and engine speeds
to the permissible maximum.
All of the above instructions, as may apply
to your vehicle type, also apply when the
first 1000 miles (1500 km) after the en-
gine, the transfer case, the front differen-
tial or the rear differential has been
replaced.
