CAUTION:

Do not exceed an engine speed of 3000 rpm in the "D" and "R" transmission selector lever positions in order to prevent filling of the expansion tank during the warm-up phase.

Shift the transmission through all the positions. Wait until each gear engages when moving through the gear positions.

Do not allow the engine to run for longer than 10 seconds at approx 2500 rpm in the "D" (DRIVE) and "R" (REVERSE) transmission selector lever position.
