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.
Ignition Positions
With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to five positions.
ACCESSORY (A): In this position, you can operate
your electrical power accessories. Press in the ignition
switch as you turn it toward you.
LOCK (B): This is the only position from which you
can remove the key. This locks your steering wheel,
ignition, shift lever and transaxle. A warning chime will
sound if you open the driver’s door when the ignition is
in LOCK and the key is in the ignition.
