Notice: Your vehicle does not need an elaborate break-in. But it will perform better in the long run if you follow these guidelines for the first 500 miles (805 km):

•	Do not drive at any one speed, fast or slow.

•	Do not exceed 70 mph (113 km/h).

•	Do not make full-throttle starts; also refrain from using the full throttle while driving.

If these procedures are not followed, your engine, axle, or other parts could be damaged.

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 break-in guideline every time you get new linings.

Do not tow a trailer during break-in. See Towing a Trailer for more information.
