VEHICLE BREAK-IN
PROCESS
No special break-in period is needed.
By following a few simple precautions
for the first 600 miles (1,000 km) you
may add to the performance, economy
and life of your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speeds are
beneficial for proper engine break-
in.
• Avoid hard stops, except in
emergencies, to allow the brakes to
seat properly.
• Avoid full-throttle starts.
