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:
D Don’t drive at any one speed

fast or

slow

for the first 500 miles (805 km).

Don’t make full

throttle starts.

D 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.

D 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, you can turn the
switch to five positions:

ACC (A): The accessory position lets you use the radio
and windshield wipers when the engine is off. To use
ACC, push in the key and turn it toward you. Your
steering wheel will stay locked.

LOCK (B): Before you put the key into the ignition
switch, the switch is in LOCK. It’s also the only position
from which you can remove your key. This position
locks your ignition, steering wheel and transaxle.
It’s a theft

deterrent feature.
