1–2 BEFORE DRIVING YOUR CAR
RUNNING-IN PERIOD
There are no particular brake-in rules for
your new Rexton. However, following a few
simple precautions for the first few thou-
sand kilometers can add to the good future
performance, economy and long life of your
Rexton.
• Do not race the engine.
• While driving, keep your engine speed
(RPM) below the red zone.
• Avoid full-throttle starts.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies.
This will allow the breaks to bed in prop-
erly.
• Drive at varying speeds, trying not to
“strain” the engine.
• Refrain from towing a trailer or an other
vehicle.
• Avoid harsh operations such as abrupt
start, sudden acceleration and prolonged
high speed driving.
These operations not only have a detri-
mental effect on the engine but also
cause excessive fuel and oil consump-
tion, which could result in the malfunc-
tion of the engine components.
Especially, avoid full-throttle acceleration
in low gear.
BEFORE ENTERING THE CAR
• Ensure that windows, outside rear view
mirrors and lights are clean, undamaged
and unobstructed.
• Visually note inflation condition of tyres.
• Check that all lights, switches and con-
trols work properly.
• Check the area behind the vehicle if you
are about to reverse.
• Check under the vehicle for leaks.
• Check the engine oil level and other fluid/
oil levels in engine compartment.
BEFORE DRIVING OFF
• Be sure you understand your car and
its equipment and how to operate it
safely.
• Adjust your seating position.
• Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
• Ensure that all occupants of the car
have fastened their seat belts.
• Check the operation of the warning
lights when the ignition key is turned to
“ON” position.
• Check all gauges.
• Release the parking brake and ensure
that the brake warning light goes out.
WARNING
Check to ensure that all light, signal-
ing systems and warning indicators
are in working order.

tery life ; if possible, avoid touching the
flat surfaces of the battery and wipe
them clean before fitting.
4. Reassemble the cover of the transmitter.
5. Check the transmitter operation.

Operational distance of REKES is
about 5 m to the vehicle.

When the REKES is replaced with
new, reprogram the code from our
service networks.
The life of battery will be reduced a
lot if you use very frequently or re-
placed with poor battery.
Operate the REKES when all the
doors are closed. If a door is opened,
the telltale lamps will not flash when
the button is pressed.
Front doors can be locked or unlocked
from outside by using the key.
To lock all doors, turn the key towards the
rear of the vehicle.
To unlock all doors, turn the key towards the
front of the vehicle.
To open the door, pull the door handle while
the door is not unlocked.
