Key
in
the Ignition
If
you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s
an
easy target for
joy
riders
or
professional thieves
--
so
don’t do it.
When you park your Geo and open the driver’s door,
you’ll hear a chime reminding you
to
remove your key
from the ignition and take it with
you.
Always
do
this.
Your steering wheel will
be
locked, and
so
will
your
ignition.
If
you have an automatic transmission, taking
your key out also locks your transmission. And
remember
to
lock
the
doors.
Parking
at
Night
Park in
a
lighted spat, close all windows
and
lock
your
vehicle. Remember
to
keep your valuables out
of
sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.

I
NOTICE:
Your modern Geo 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
(804
km).
Don’t drive at any one
speed
--
fast or
slow
--
for the first
500
miles
(804
km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts,
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.
See “Towing
a
Trailer” in the Index for
more information.
