Starting and Operating
Your
Vehicle
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:
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
c
----I
With the key
in
the ignition
switch, you can turn
it
to
four different positions.
LOCK
(A): This is the only position from which you can
remove the key. This position locks your steering
wheel, ignition and automatic transmission.
If you have an automatic transmission, the ignition
switch can’t be turned
to
LOCK unless the shift lever is
in PARK (P).
