BEFORE DRIVING YOUR CAR
Break-In Schedule
See the new
car
break-in instructions
in
this manual. Also,
we
recommend you drive your new
car
for 500 miles (800 kilometres) before
trailer towing. At the end of this
500 mile break-in period, speeds over 50
mph
(80km/h)
and full throttle starts should be avoided during the first
500 miles (800 kilometres)
of
trailer towing. If a · new engine"
transmission or axle
is
installed
in
your car, the same
car
should be
observed.
NOTICE: Use only trailer hitches which permit normal operation
of
the
Energy Absorbing Bumper system, if so equipped. For example, a rigid
fore and aft connection between the bumper and any other part
of
the
car
may increase damage in the event
of
a collision.

the trailer brakes are working and the trailer electrical system
is
connected.

"Engine

in
the
