Pontiac 1993 Sunbird Owner's Manual page 47

Features & Controls
NOTICE:
Your modern Pontiac 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 lun). 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.
U
Ijyzition Switch
With the ignition key in the ignition
switch, you can turn the switch to five
positions:
Accessory: An "on)' position in which
you can operate your electrical power
accessories. Press in the ignition switck
as you turn the top of it toward you.
Lock The only position in which you
can remove the key. This locks your
steering wheel, ignition and transaxle.
Off: Unlocks the steering wheel,
ignition and transaxle, but does not
send electrical power to any accessories.
Use this position if your vehicle must be
pushed or towed, but never try to push-
start your vehicle. A warning chime will
sound if you open the driver's door
when the ignition is off and the key is in
the ignition.
Run:
An
c c ~ n 7 ' position to which the
switch returns after you start your
engine and release the switch. The
switch stays in the Run position when
the engine is running. But even when
the engine is not running, you can use
Run to operate your electrical power
accessories, and to display some instru-
ment panel warning lights.
