break-in. See Trailer Towing 0 339
for the trailer towing capabilities
of the vehicle and more

Following break-in, engine speed

On new vehicles, the various
mechanical and electrical systems
experience a break-in period during
the first 6 400 km (4,000 mi) of
routine driving. As the vehicle is

transmission shift performance.
Electrical systems will adapt and
calibrate during the break-in period.

similar vehicle noises is normal during
this process.
Normal driving charges the vehicle s
battery to achieve the best operation
of the vehicle, including fuel economy
and the Stop/Start System. See Stop/
Start System 0 247.
