Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your vehicle. Remember
to keep your valuables out of sight. Put them in a storage area, or take them
with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your vehicle, it's best
to lock it up and take your keys. But what if you have to leave your ignition
key? What if you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver's.
Then take the door key with you.
New Vehicle "Break-In"
NOTICE:
Your modern vehicle doesn't need an elaborate '70reak-in." But
it
will
perform better in the long run if' you follow these
guidelines:
Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or less for the first
500 miles
(804
k m ) .
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 "b'reaking-in" guideline
every time you get new brake linings.
