New Vehicle “Break-In”
Ignition Switch
NOTICE:
Your *modern Oldsmobile doesn’t need an
elaborate “break-in.” But it
will
perform better
in the long run
if
you follow these guidelines:
0
Don’t drive at any one speed
--
fast
or
slow
0-
for the first
500
miles
(804
km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
0
Avoid making hard stops for the fist
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.
0
Don’t tow a trailer during “break-in.” See
“Towing
a
Trailer” in the Index for more
information.

With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to five positions:
ACC
(A):
This position lets you use things like the
radio and windshield wipers when the engine is off. To
use
ACC,
push in the key and turn it toward you. Your
steering wheel will stay locked.
