Starting and Operating
Your

New
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:
If you have all-wheel drive, keep your speed at
55
mph
(88
km/h) or less for the first
500
miles
(805
km).
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, you can turn the key to four
different positions.
A
A (OFF): This is the only position in which you can
remove the key. This position locks the steering wheel,
ignition and transaxle.
