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
for the first 500 miles (805 km):
•
Do not drive at any one constant 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.
Avoid downshifting to brake, or slow,
the vehicle.
If these break-in procedures are not followed,
the vehicle's 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 breaking-in
guideline every time you get new brake linings.
Following break-in, engine speed and load can
be gradually increased.
