New Vehicle Break-In

Caution

The vehicle does not need an
elaborate break-in. But it will
perform better in the long run if
you follow these guidelines:

.

Do not drive at any one
constant speed, fast or slow,
for the first 805 km (500 mi).
Do not make full-throttle
starts. Avoid downshifting to
brake or slow the vehicle.

.

Avoid making hard stops for
the first 322 km (200 mi) 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

Caution (Continued)

breaking-in guideline every
time you get new brake
linings.

Following break-in, engine speed
and load can be gradually
increased.
