Introduction

VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS

A030000AUN

No special break-in period is needed. By
following a few simple precautions for the
first 600 miles (1,000 km) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• While driving, keep your engine speed

(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.

• Do not maintain a single speed for long

periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly break-in the engine.

• Avoid hard stops, except in emergen-

cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop-
erly.

• Don't let the engine idle longer than 3

minutes at one time.

• Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200

miles (2,000 km) of operation.

A040000AFD

This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hit-
ting a road obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how a vehi-
cle's systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems
for a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The EDR in this vehi-
cle is designed to record such data
as:
* How various systems in your vehicle

were operating:

* Whether or not the driver and pas-

senger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;

* How far (if at all) the driver was

depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,

* How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances
in which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situa-
tion occurs; no data are recorded by
the EDR under normal driving condi-
tions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash loca-
tion) are recorded.

However, other

parties, such as law enforcement,
could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, spe-
cial equipment is required,

and

access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed.
In addition to the vehicle manufactur-
er, other parties, such as law enforce-
ment, that have the special equip-
ment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
