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:

.

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

27

for the trailer

towing capabilities of your vehicle and more
information.

Following break

in, engine speed and load can be

gradually increased.
