Break-In
Nofice:
Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But
it
will perform better
in
the long run
if
you follow these guidelines:
0
0
0
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.
