Starting and
Operating
New Vehicle Break-In
Notice: The 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 88 km/h
(55 mph) or less for the first
805 km (500 mi).
.
Do not drive at any one
constant speed, fast or slow,
for the first 805 km (500 mi).
Do not make full-throttle
starts. Avoid downshifting
to brake or slow the vehicle.
.
Avoid making hard stops
for the first 322 km (200 mi)
or so. During this time the
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 Driving
Characteristics and Towing
Tips on page 9‑49 for the
trailer towing capabilities
of your vehicle and more
information.
Following break‐in, engine speed
and load can be gradually
increased.
