  NOTE:
  - The engine speed on a new vehicle driven less than 500 km (300 miles) may be 20 to 100 rpm lower than specification. But no adjustment is necessary because Idle Speed Control System adjusts automatically.
  - If the engine stalls or the engine speed is low after the vehicle has been driven a distance of 500 km (300 miles) or more, it's possible there may be residue on the throttle plate. See THROTTLE BODY CLEANING .
