New Vehicle “Break-ln”
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
(SO4
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.
