Vehicle
Break-In
Notice:
Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But
it
will perform better
in
the long run
if you follow these guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed
-
fast or
slow
-
for the first
500
miles
(805
km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the first
200
miles
(322
km) or
so.
During
this
time your new
brake linings aren’t 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.
Don’t tow a trailer during break-in. See “Towing
a Trailer” in the Index for more information.
Ignition Positions
With the key in the ignition switch, you can turn it
to
five
different positions.
(A) ACCESSORY: This position lets you use your
electrical accessories such
as
power windows, power
sunroof (if equipped), radio and the windshield wipers.
To use, push in the ignition key and turn it toward
you. Your steering wheel will remain locked, just as it
was before you inserted the key.
