New Vehicle “Break-In”
Ignition Positions
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
0
0
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.

ignition and transaxle.
A

you open the driver’s door when the ignition is off
and
the key’is in
the
