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:

If you have all-wheel drive, 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 340

for the trailer

towing capabilities of your vehicle and more
information.

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