Ignition Switch
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:
0
0
0
Don't drive
at
any one speed
--
fast or
slow
--
for the first 500 miles (804 km).
Don't make.ful1-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.
Don't tow
a
trailer during break-in. See
"Towing a Trailer" in
the
Index for more
information.
