Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But it will perfornl better in the
long
run if
you
follow these guidelines:
Keep your speed
at
55
mph (88 kdh) 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.
