Breaking Your Vehicle In
Your new vehicle goes through an adjustment or break-in
period during the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) that you drive it.
During the break-in period, you need to pay careful attention to
how you drive your vehicle.
Avoid sudden stops. Because your vehicle has new brake
linings, you should take these steps:
— Watch traffic carefully so that you can anticipate when to
stop.
— Begin braking well in advance.
— Apply the brakes gradually.
The break-in period for new brake linings lasts for 100 miles
(160 km) of city driving or 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
highway driving.
Use only the type of engine oil that Ford recommends. See
Engine oil recommendations in the Index. Do not use special
"break-in" oils.
