After some drive time in my Limited .. I’m really enjoying my new ride.. Thought I would start some tips
that might be useful to some..
I enjoy driving with the drivers window down when weather permits.. I found that just having the drivers window
Down was causing too much wind in the face, cruising along at any speed.. By cracking the rear window, drivers side, down about 3 - 4 inches or so, will significantly stop the wind buffeting in your face.. height, seat position might affect results..
YMMV .
Those with the 1.6 L turbo engines.. Always a good idea to drive easy for the last couple of minutes to allow the turbo to spool down some, allows the bearings to cool before you shut down the engine and helps avoid coking.
Hold off on full throttle or heavy loads until the oil temperature reaches normal operating temps..
Wait a few minutes AFTER water temperature reaches normal.. as oil temperature takes longer to
Reach normal temps ...
I’m old school.. based on my experiences.. $.02 worth..
Anyone else have something to add ?
