BREAKING-IN YOUR VEHICLE

Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive
continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
new vehicle operation. Vary your speed frequently in order to give the
moving parts a chance to break in.

Drive your new vehicle at least 1,000 miles (1,600 km) before towing a
trailer. For more detailed information about towing a trailer, refer to

Trailer towing

in the

Tires, Wheels and Loading

chapter.

Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils since
these additives may prevent piston ring seating. See

Engine oil

in the

Maintenance and Specifications

chapter for more information on oil

usage.
