Operating Your

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
With the key
in
the ignition switch, you can turn the key
to four different positions.
C
A
L
A (LOCK): This position locks your ignition and
transmission. It’s a theft-deterrent feature. You will only
be able to remove your key when the ignition is
turned to
LOCK.
B
(ACCESSORY): This position lets you use things like
the radio, power windows and the windshield wipers
when the engine is
off.
