Breaking Your Vehicle In

Your new vehicle goes through an adjustment or
break-in period during the first 1,000 miles
(1,600 km) that you drive it. During the break-in
period, you need to pay careful attention to how
you drive your vehicle.

❑

Avoid sudden stops.

Because your vehicle has

new brake linings, you should take these steps:

— Watch traffic carefully so that you can

anticipate when to stop.

— Begin braking well in advance.

— Apply the brakes gradually.

The break-in period for new brake linings
lasts for 100 miles (160 km) of city driving
or 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of highway
driving.

❑

Use only the type of engine oil that Ford
recommends.

See

Engine oil recommendations

in the Index. Do not use special “break-in” oils.
