Starting and Operating Your
Vehicle
New Vehicle Break-In
Notice: Your vehicle does not need an elaborate
break-in. But it will perform better in the long run
if you follow these guidelines:
•
Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or less for
the first 500 miles (805 km).
•
Do not drive at any one constant speed, fast
or slow, for the first 500 miles (805 km). Do
not make full-throttle starts. Avoid downshifting
to brake, or slow, the vehicle.
•
Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles
(322 km) or so. During this time your 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.
Front Air Dam
Your vehicle is equipped with a front air dam which has
minimal ground clearance.
Under normal operation, the air dam will occasionally
contact some road surfaces (speed bumps, driveway
ramps, etc.). This can be heard inside the vehicle as
a scraping noise. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
Use care when approaching bumps or objects on road
surfaces and avoid them when possible.
