New Vehicle “Break
-
In”
NOTICE:
Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate
“break
-
in.” But it will perform better in the
long run if you follow these guidelines:
D Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or
less for the first 500 miles (805 km).
D Don’t drive at any one speed
--
fast or
slow
--
for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Don’t make full
-
throttle starts.
D Avoid making hard stops for the first
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this breaking
-
in guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
D Don’t tow a trailer during break
-
in.
See “Towing a Trailer” in the Index for
more information.
Ignition Positions
You can use your key to turn your ignition switch to five
different positions.
ACCESSORY (A): ACCESSORY lets you use things
like the radio, power windows and the windshield wipers
when the engine is off. Push in the key and turn it toward
you. Your steering wheel will remain locked, just as it
was before you inserted the key.
LOCK (B): This position locks your ignition, steering
wheel and transmission. It’s a theft
-
deterrent feature.
You will only be able to remove your key when the
ignition is turned to LOCK.
