Starting and Operating Your
Vehicle
New
Vehicle Break-In
Notice:
Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But
it
will perform better
in
the long
run
if you follow these guidelines:
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.
