New Vehicle "Break-In"
NOTICE:
Your modern Chevrolet doesn't need an
elaborate "break-in." But it will perform better
in the long run if you follow these guidelines:
0
0
0
0
Keep your speed at
55
mph (88 km/h) or
less for the first 500 miles (804 km).
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
A
E
ACC (A): Position in which you can operate your
electrical power accessories. 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
automatic transmission.
