New Vehicle "Break-In"
Ignition Switch
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:
Don't drive
at
any one speed
--
fast
or
slow
--
for the first 500 miles
(804
km).
Don't make full-throttle
starts.
200 miles (322 km) o r 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.

Avoid making hard stops for the first
With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the switch
to
five positions:
ACC (A): This position lets you use things like the
radio and windshield wipers when the engine is off. To
use ACC, push in the key and turn it toward you. Your
steering wheel will stay locked.
LOCK
(B):
Before you put the key into the ignition
switch, the switch is in LOCK. It's also the only position
in which you can remove your key. This position locks
your ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It's a
theft-deterrent feature.
