New Vehicle “Break-In”
1
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:
0
0
0
0
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.
[gnition Positions
With the key in the ignition
switch, you can turn the
switch
to
four
positions.
LOCK
(A):
The only position
in
which
you
can remove
the key. This 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
the
PARK
(P)
position.
