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:
D
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow
-- for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Don’t make full
-throttle starts.
D
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.
D
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 the
switch to four different positions.
If you cannot start your vehicle and you are unable to
remove your key from the ignition, see “Shift Lock
Release” in the Index.
OFF (A): This is the only position in which you can
insert or remove the key. This position locks the ignition,
steering wheel and transaxle. It’s a theft
-deterrent feature.
