New
Vehicle “Break-In”
NOTICE:
Your modern vehicle 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
kmh) or
less for the first
500
miles
(SO4
km).
Don’t drive at any one speed
--
fast or
slow
--
for the first
500
miles
(804
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.
