Brakes and clutch

DANGER

If possible, avoid harsh braking and clutch use during the first 150 km in town and the first 1,500 km on motorways.

Engine

DANGER

Avoid driving at very high speeds for the first 1,500 km. Vary your speed frequently and do not change gear too early. Do not over-rev the engine.
