Before Driving
n
Break In
Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this
recommendation when the brake pads are replaced.
n
Exterior Checks
Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior lights, or other
parts of the vehicle.
Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
Make sure the hood and hatch are securely closed.
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials in the engine
compartment, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an extended period, inspect
and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have
fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by a small animal. Also check for leftover
flammable materials after you or someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.
Make sure the tires are in good condition.
Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
