New Vehicle Break-In

The vehicle does not
need an elaborate break-in. But it
will perform better in the long run
if you follow these guidelines:
If you have all-wheel drive,
keep your speed at 88 km/h
(55 mph) or less for the first
805 km (500 mi).
Do not drive at any one
constant speed, fast or slow,
for the first 805 km (500 mi).
Do not make full-throttle
starts. Avoid downshifting to
brake or slow the vehicle.
