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:

.

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 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.

.

Do not tow a trailer during break-in. See

Towing a Trailer on page 5

‑

for the trailer

towing capabilities of the vehicle and more
information.

Following break

‐

in, engine speed and load can be

gradually increased.
