Notice: The 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 constant speed, fast or slow, for the first 500 miles
(805 km). Do not make full-throttle starts. Do not exceed 5,000 engine rpm.
Avoid downshifting to brake or slow the vehicle. • Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km)
or so. During this time the 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
for the trailer towing capabilities of your vehicle
and more information.
