If you are ever driving and the security message
comes on and stays on, you will be able to restart
your engine if you turn it off. Your PASS-Key
®
III
system, however, is not working properly and must
be serviced by your dealer. Your vehicle is not
protected by the PASS-Key
®
III system at
this time.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key
®
III key, see
your dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key

New Vehicle Break-In
Notice: Your vehicle does not need an
elaborate break-in. But it will perform better in
the long run if you follow these guidelines:
• Do not drive at any one constant speed,
fast or slow, for the first 500 miles
(805 km). Do not make full-throttle starts.
Avoid downshifting to brake, or slow,
the vehicle.
• Avoid making hard stops for the first
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings are not 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.
• Do not tow a trailer during break-in. See
Towing a Trailer on page 412 for the
trailer towing capabilities of your vehicle
and more information.
Following break-in, engine speed and load can
be gradually increased.
