■ NEW VEHICLE
BREAK-IN PERIOD
NOTICE
Your vehicle doesn't need an
elaborate "break-in", however it
will perform better in the long
run if you follow these
guidelines:
• Keep your speed at 90 km/h
(55 mph) or less for the first
800 km (500 miles).
• Don't drive at a constant
speed - fast or slow - for
the first 800 km (500 miles).
Don't make full-throttle starts.
NOTICE (Continued)
• Avoid downshifting to brake
or slow the vehicle.
•Avoid making hard stops for
the first 320 km (200 miles)
or so. Hard stops with new
brake linings can mean premature
wear. Follow this
"break-in" guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
• Do not tow a trailer during
"break-in".
Following break-in, engine
speed and load can be
gradually increased.
■ KEYS
CAUTION
Do not leave children in the
vehicle with the ignition key.
They could operate the power
windows or other controls and
could even make the vehicle
move. A child or others could
be injured or even killed.
Children can be seriously
injured or killed if caught in the
path of a closing window.
Do not leave children
unattended in the vehicle.
