Breaking in your vehicle
Your new vehicle goes through an
adjustment or breaking-in period
during the first 1,000 miles (1,600
km) of driving. During this period:
• Change your vehicle’s speed
often as you drive. Do not drive
at one speed for a long time.
• Use only the type of engine oil
Ford recommends. Do not use
special “break-in” oils.
• Avoid sudden stops. The
break-in period for brake linings
lasts for 1,600 km (1,000 miles)
of highway driving or 160 km
(100 miles) of city driving.
