New Vehicle Break-In

Notice: Your 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
your 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 328 for the trailer
towing capabilities of your vehicle and more
information.

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