Off to a Good Start

Master Key

Avoid harsh operations such as abrupt fast starts, sudden acceleration, prolonged high-speed running and abrupt application of the brakes. These operations not only have a detrimental effect on the engine but also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, resulting in malfunction of running parts. Especially avoid wide open throttle acceleration in low gear.

This single key operates all the locks on your Sub-Compact: the ignition switch, steering wheel lock, door locks, fuel lid lock and deck lid lock.

A Word About Your Key

You will find an identifying number stamped on each key. You should record this number so that in the event of loss you can order duplicate keys from your dealer or a reputable locksmith.

Break-in Recommendations

Do not overload the car. Observe the seating capacity.

Advanced automobile manufacturing techniques permit you to operate your new Sub-Compact without experiencing a long break-in period of low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future performance and economy of your car by observing the following precautions during the first 600 miles (1,000 km). It is wise to drive your car at moderate speeds until high spots on sliding parts are removed and running parts become seated.

After the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of driving, take your car to your nearest dealer for the free break-in maintenance.

Ignition Switch

Both sides of the key are identical permitting easy insertion without fumbling in the dark.

Allow the engine to warm up after starting.

Avoid racing the engine.
