The First
1000 Miles
During
your
first thousand
miles of
driving, you can, by
observing
a
few
simple
precautions. contribute greatly to a
longer life for
your
Corvette
and add
much to its future per-
formance and
economy of
operation.
It is recommended that your speed during these first one thousand miles be confined to a
maximum of 60
mph.
However, do not drive for extended
periods at
anyone
constant
speed,
either
fast or slow.
During this period,
avoid
full
throttle starts
and quick,
abrupt
stops.
The first few hundred miles
of driving are especially
important to proper
brake
operation.
Gentle
braking
during
this period will allow
proper
conditioning of
the brake
linings and result in
longer
brake life
and
better
brake performance.
It
is
always
best to drive at
a
reasonable
speed
until the
engine
has warmed up.
Be
par-
ticularly
careful
to maintain the proper oil level in
the engine.
Check the
oil
level
frequently and, if it becomes necessary to add oil, follow closely the recommendations as to
quality and viscosity found in this booklet. Use of the proper
engine
oil is
of
great
impor-
tance to insure maximum performance
and economy.
