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 speed — fast or
slow — for the first 500 miles (805 km). Do not
make full-throttle starts.

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 4-39 for more information.
