Operation
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
gradually increase vehicle and engine
speeds to the permissible maximum.
