New Vehicle Break-In

Notice: Your vehicle does not need an elaborate
"break-in." But it will perform better in the long run
if you follow these guidelines:
•
Do not drive at any one speed — fast or
slow — for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Do not make full-throttle starts.
•
Avoid making hard stops for the first
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings are not 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.
•
Do not tow a trailer during break-in.
See Towing a Trailer on page 4-38 for
more information.
