New Vehicle "Break-In"
Ignition Positions
NOTICE:
Your modern Pontiac doesn't need an elaborate
66break-in.'' But it will perform better
in
the long
run if you follow these guidelines:
e
a
Don't drive at
any
one speed
--
fast or
slow
--
for
the first
500
miles (805
km),
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.
Don't tow a trailer during break-in.
See CCTowing a Trailer" in the Index for
more information.
