Starting
and
Operating
Your
Vehicle
New Vehicle Break-In
Notice:
Your vehicle doesn’t need an eiaborate
“break-in.” But
it
will perform better in the long run
if you follow these guidelines:
e
e
e
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
With the key in the ignition, you can turn the switch to
four positions.
The ignition switch is
located on the instrument
panel, to the right
of
the steering column.
OFF:
This is the only position
from
which you can
remove the key. Removing the key locks your ignition
and
automatic
transaxle.
Notice:
If your key seems stuck in
OFF
and you
can’t
turn
it,
be sure you are using the correct key;
if
so,
is
it
all the way in? Turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force
it
could break the
key or the ignition switch.
If
none of
this
works, then
your vehicle needs service.
