Starting and Operating Your
Vehicle
New Vehicle Break-In
Notice: The vehicle does not need an elaborate
break-in. But it will perform better in the long run if
you follow these guidelines for the first 500 miles
(805 km):
•
Do not drive at any one constant speed, fast
or slow.
•
Do not exceed 70 mph (113 km/h).
•
Do not make full-throttle starts; also refrain
from using the full throttle while driving. Avoid
downshifting to brake or slow the vehicle.
If these break-in procedures are not followed, the
vehicle’s engine, axle, or other parts could be
damaged.
Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles
(322 km) or so. During this time the new brake linings
are not 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.
Following break-in, engine speed and load can be
gradually increased.
