O P E RAT ING YOUR VE HI CL E

• A long break-in period is not required for the drivetrain (engine, transmission, and

rear axle) in your new vehicle.

• Drive moderately during the first 500 miles (800 km). After the initial 60 miles

(100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.

• While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws

contributes to a good break-in. However, wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear

can be detrimental and should be avoided.

• The engine oil is a high performance synthetic lubricant, the transmission fluid, and

axle lubricant installed at the factory is high-quality and energy-conserving. Oil, fluid,

and lubricant changes should be consistent with anticipated climate and conditions

under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality

grades, refer to "Maintaining Your Vehicle".

NOTE:

A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of

operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as

an indication of difficulty.

Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.

Wipers

Intermittent, Low And High Operation

• Rotate the end of the lever to the first detent position for one of five intermittent settings,

the second detent for low wiper operation and the third detent for high wiper operation.

CAUTION!
