%*[II03400( ALL)01/96] Breaking Your Vehicle In

*[II03500( ALL)01/96] Your new vehicle goes through an adjustment or

break-in period during the first 1,000 miles

(1,600 km) that you drive it. During the break-in

period, you need to pay careful attention to how

you drive your vehicle.

%*[II03600( ALL)01/96] ❑Avoid sudden stops. Because your vehicle

has new brake linings, you should take these

steps:

recommends. See Engine oil recommendations

in the Index. Do not use special “break-in”

oils.

Powertrain Control Module that limits engine

and/or vehicle speeds with a cut-out mode to

promote durability.
