Starting And Operating Your Vehicle; New Vehicle Break-In; Ignition Positions - Chevrolet TRACKER 2003 Manual

Starting and Operating Your
Vehicle
New Vehicle Break-In
Notice: Your vehicle doesn't need an elaborate
"break-in.'' But it will perform better in the long run
if you follow these guidelines:
Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or less for
the first 500 miles (805 km).
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 "Towing
a Trailer" in the Index for more information.
Ignition Positions
c
- - - - I
With the key in the ignition
switch, you can turn
it
to
four different positions.
LOCK (A): This is the only position from which you can
remove the key. This position locks your steering
wheel, ignition and automatic transmission.
If you have an automatic transmission, the ignition
switch can't be turned to LOCK unless the shift lever is
in PARK (P).
