New Vehicle Break-In

Notice: Your 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.
Avoid downshifting to brake, or slow,
the vehicle.

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 breaking-in
guideline every time you get new brake
linings.
•
Do not tow a trailer during break-in. See
Towing a Trailer (Manual Transaxle) on
page 256 or Towing a Trailer (Automatic
Transaxle) on page 257 for the trailer
towing capabilities of your vehicle and
more information.
Following break-in, engine speed and load can
be gradually increased.
