Operation
The first 1000 miles (1500 km)
In the “Operation” section you will find
detailed information on operating, main-
taining 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.
All of the above instructions, as may apply
to your vehicle type, also apply when
driving the first 1000 miles (1500 km) af-
ter the engine, the transfer case, the front
differential or the rear differential has been
replaced.
