If
you
park
in
a
lot where someone will be watching your vehicle, it’s best
to lock
it up and take your keys. But what if you have to leave your ignition
key? What
if
you have to leave something valuable
in
your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.

“Break-In”
NOTICE:
Your modern vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate “break-in.” But
it
will perform better in the long run if you follow these
guidelines:
0
Keep your speed at
55
mph
(88
km/h) or less for the first
500
miles
(804
km).
Don’t drive at any one speed
-
fast or slow
-
for the
first
500
miles
(804
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.
