New Vehicle "Break-In"
NOTICE:
Your modern Buick doesn't need an elaborate
"break-in." But it will perform better in the long
run if you follow these guidelines:
0
0
0
Don't drive at any one speed
--
fast or
slow
--
for the first 500 miles (804 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 during break-in. See
"Towing a Trailer" in the Index
for
more
information.
Ignition Positions
With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can
turn the switch to five positions.
C
ACCESSORY (A): Position in which you can operate
your radio or windshield wipers. Press in the ignition
switch as you turn the top of it toward you.
LOCK (B): The only position in which you can
remove the key. This locks your steering wheel,
ignition and transaxle.
