New Vehicle Break-In

Notice: The vehicle does
not need an elaborate break-in.
But it will perform better in
the long run if you follow these
guidelines:

Do not drive at any one
constant speed, fast or slow,
for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Do not make full-throttle
starts. Avoid downshifting
to brake or slow the vehicle.

Avoid making hard stops for
the first 200 miles (322 km) or
so. During this time the new
brake linings are not 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.

Do not tow a trailer during
break-in. See Towing a Trailer
on page 4-35 for the trailer
towing capabilities of your
vehicle and more information.

Following break-in, engine speed
and load can be gradually
increased.
