While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration
within the limits of local traffic laws contributes to
a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration
in low gear can be detrimental and should be
avoided.
The engine oil installed in t he engine at the
fac tory is a high-quality energy conserving type
lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with
anticipated climate conditions under which ve-
hicle operations will occur. For the recommended
viscosity and quality grades, refer to “Dealer
Service” in “Servicing And Maintenance”.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight
Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its
first few thousand miles (kilometers) of opera-
tion. This should be considered a normal part of
the break-in and not interpreted as a problem.
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with a new Electric Park
Brake System (EPB) that offers greater conve-
nience. The EPB switch is located in the center
console.
To apply the park brake manually, pull up on the
switch momentarily. Once the parking brake is
fully engaged, the BRAKE warning lamp in the
instrument cluster and an indicator on the switch
will illuminate.
To release the park brake manually, the ignition
must be in RUN.Then put your foot on the brake
pedal and push the park brake switch down
momentarily. Once the park brake is fully disen-
gaged, the BRAKE warning lamp and the switch
indicator will extinguish.
The park brake can also be automatically released
if the driver’s seat bel t is buckled (in case of
automatic transmission) and driver's intention to
start (in forward or reverse direction) is recog-
nized by the system.
NOTE:
On a manual transmission vehicle, if the clutch
pedal is released at the same time the gas pedal is
pressed, the EPB will be automatically released.
NOTE:
• You may hear a slight whirring sound from the
back of the vehicle while the parking brake
engages or disengages.
• If your foot is on the brake pedal while you are
engaging or disengaging the parking brake, you
may notice a small amount of brake pedal
movement.
