The vehicle is built using high-precision manufacturing methods, but the moving parts of the engine must still settle in relative to each other. The breaking-in process occurs mainly in the first 2 000 mi (3 000 km) of operation.
During the breaking-in period of 2 000 mi (3 000 km), observe and follow the instructions below:
With reference to US legislation relating to Air Conditioning (A/C) refrigerants, J2845 Technician Training for Safe Service and Containment of Refrigerants Used in Mobile Air Conditioning (A/C) Systems (HFO-1234yf) states that under no circumstances should any part of the A/C system be serviced, dismantled, or replaced by anyone other than suitably qualified and certified personnel. Make sure that the refrigerant is correctly contained at all times. Failure to adhere to the above may result in serious personal injury or death.
All replacement parts for the Air Conditioning (A/C) system must be new and equivalent to the manufacturer’s original equipment. All replacement parts must comply with the relevant SAE standard (J2842). Contact a retailer/authorized repairer for advice. Failure to do so may lead to serious personal injury or death.
The following symbols may be used on an under-hood label and are relevant to the refrigerant fluid:
A/C symbol.
Lubricant symbol.
Caution.
Flammable refrigerant.
Required registered technician to service A/C.
Consult the Owner’s Handbook.
Any significant or sudden drop in fluid levels, or uneven tire wear, should be reported to a qualified technician without delay. Ignoring low fluid levels or uneven tire wear may cause damage to the vehicle.
In addition to the routine maintenance, a number of simple checks must be carried out more frequently.
DAILY CHECKS
The engine oil level should be checked more frequently if the vehicle is driven for prolonged periods at high speeds.

Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood. Failure to comply with the safety instructions could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
If the vehicle has been driven recently, do not touch the engine, exhaust, or cooling system components until the engine has cooled. Hot components may cause serious injuries.
Never leave the engine running when the vehicle is in a garage. Exhaust gases are poisonous and can cause unconsciousness and death if inhaled.
The jack is designed for wheel changing only. Never work beneath the vehicle with the jack as the only means of support. Always use correctly-rated vehicle support stands, before putting any part of the body beneath the vehicle. If the wheel changing jack breaks, the vehicle may cause serious injury or death.
Keep your hands and clothing away from drive belts, pulleys and fans. Some fans may continue to operate after the engine has stopped and may cause serious injuries.
Remove metal wristbands and jewelry before working in the engine compartment. Jewelry may trap the hands in the engine compartment which may cause serious injuries.
Do not touch electrical leads or components while the engine is running, or with the ignition switched on. Any moving component may cause serious injuries.
Do not allow tools or metal parts of the vehicle to make contact with the battery leads or terminals. Metal contact on electrical terminals may cause electric interference and may lead to serious injuries.
Fluids used in motor vehicles are poisonous and should not be consumed or brought into contact with open wounds. Vehicle fluids may cause serious injuries or infection, which can result in death.
For safety, always read and obey all instructions printed on labels and containers.
Prolonged contact with engine oil may cause serious skin disorders, including dermatitis and cancer of the skin. Always wash thoroughly after contact.
Pollution of drains, waterways, or soil is illegal. Use authorized waste disposal sites to dispose of used oil and toxic chemicals.
Before opening the hood, make sure that the ignition is switched off and the smart key is removed from the vehicle. Failure to do so can potentially result in serious injury or death.
