“Break-In”
Ignition Positions
NOTICE:
Your modern Cadillac doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But it will perform better in the long
run if you follow these guidelines:
0
0
0
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.
NOTICE:
If
your key seems stuck in
LOCK
and
you
can’t
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key;
if
so,
is
it all the
way
in?
If
it is, then
turn
the
steering wheel left and right while you turn the
key hard. But turn the key only with your hand.
Using a tool to force
it
could break the key or the
ignition switch. If none of this works, then your
vehicle needs service.
