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:
e
e
Don't drive at any one speed
-
fast or
slow
-
for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Don't make full-throttle starts.
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.
Don't
tow a trailer durine break-in. See
"Towin9
a Trailer" in the Index for more information.
