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:
Don't drive at any one speed
--
fast or
slow
--
for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Don't make full-throttle starts.
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.
Avoid making hard stops for the first
Ignition Positions
With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to five different positions.
C
ACCESSORY (A): The accessory position lets you use
things like the radio and the windshield wipers when the
engine is off. To use, push in the key and turn it toward
you. Your steering wheel will remain locked, just as it
was before you inserted the key.
