New Vehicle 66Break-In"
Ignition Positions
NOTICE:
Your vehicle doesn't need an elaborate
"break-in." But it will perform better in the long
run if you follow these guidelines:
0
e
0
Don't drive
at
any one speed
--
fast or
slow
--
for the
first
500 miles (805
k m ) .
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.

With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch to five different positions.
ACCESSORY (A): This position lets you use things
like the radio and the windshield wipers when the
engine is off. To get into ACCESSORY, push in the key
and turn it toward you. The steering wheel will remain
locked, just as it was before you inserted the key.
