New Vehicle Run-In

Caution
The vehicle does not need an
elaborate run-in. But it will
perform better in the long run if
you follow these guidelines:
Keep the vehicle speed at
88 km/h (55 mph) or less for
the first 805 km (500 mi).
Do not drive at any one
constant speed, fast or slow,
for the first 805 km (500 mi).
Do not make full-throttle
starts. Avoid downshifting to
brake or slow the vehicle.
Avoid making hard stops for
the first 322 km (200 mi) or
so. During this time the new

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
run-in. See Trailer Towing on
page 9-72 for the trailer
towing capabilities of the
vehicle and more information.
Following run-in, engine speed
and load can be gradually
increased.
Adjustable Throttle and
Brake Pedal
If equipped, the position of the
throttle and brake pedals can be
changed.
(Continued)
No adjustment to the pedals can be
made when the vehicle is in

pedals is on the centre console, to
the left of the touch screen.
Press the top of the switch to move
the pedals closer to your body.
Press the bottom of the switch to
move the pedals away.
Before you start driving, fully press
the brake pedal to confirm the
adjustment is right for you.
