8-1

OPERATING THE VEHICLE

OPERATING NEW VEHICLE

How a new vehicle is handled and maintained
determines the life of vehicle.
A new vehicle just off the factory production line
has been tested, however the various parts are not
mated to each other, so the operator should pay
more attention to the vehicle operation for the first
50 hours. Drive at a slower speed and avoid
excessive work or operation until the various parts
become “broken-in”. How you break in the vehicle
greatly affects the life of your vehicle. Therefore, to
obtain the maximum performance and the longest
life of the vehicle, it is very important to properly
break-in your vehicle. For better handling of a new
vehicle, the following precautions should be
observed.

■ Do not operate the vehicle at full speed for
the first 50 hours.

 Do not start quickly nor apply the brakes

suddenly.

 In winter, operate the vehicle after fully

warming up the engine.

 Do not run the engine at speeds faster than

prescribed.

 On rough roads, slow down to suitable speeds.

Do not operate the vehicle at fast speed. The
above precautions are not limited to new
vehicles, but to all vehicles. It should be
especially observed for new vehicles.

■ Changing Lubricating Oil for New Vehicles
The lubricating oil is especially important for a
new vehicle. Various parts are not “broken-in”
and are not accustomed to each other. Small
pieces of metal grit may develop during the
operation of the vehicle; and this may wear out
or damage the parts. Therefore, take care to
change the lubricating oil a little earlier than
would ordinarily be required. For further details

of change interval hours, see “MAINTENANCE”

section.

STARTING

1. Fasten the seat belt.

■ Seat Belt

WARNING

To avoid personal injury:
 Seat belts reduce injury. Always wear your

seat belts. The lap-style seat belts may not
provide adequate protection for small
children. Pay special attention when
carrying a child passenger.

CAUTION：

To avoid personal injury:
 Always use the seat belts when operating

and riding the vehicle.

Adjust the seat belts for proper fit and connect the
buckle. This seat belt is an auto-locking retractable
type.
