the engine off. However, your Passlock

system is

not working properly and must be serviced by your
dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by
Passlock

at this time. You may also want to check

the fuse. See

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.

Do not tow a trailer during break-in. See

Towing a Trailer on page 339

for the trailer

towing capabilities of your vehicle and more
information.

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