222 STARTING AND OPERATING
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the
engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in
your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are
desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration
within the limits of local traffic laws contributes
to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle accelera-
tion in low gear can be detrimental and should
be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory
is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant.
Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated
climate conditions under which vehicle operations
will occur. For the recommended viscosity and
quality grades, refer to “Dealer Service” in
“Servicing And Maintenance”.
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.
PARK BRAKE
Electric Park Brake (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric Park
Brake System (EPB) that offers simple opera-
tion, and some additional features that make
the park brake more convenient and useful.
The park brake is primarily intended to prevent
the vehicle from rolling while parked. Before
leaving the vehicle, make sure that the park
brake is applied. Also, be certain to leave the
transmission in PARK.
You can engage the park brake in two ways;
Manually, by applying the park brake switch.
Automatically, by enabling the Auto Park
Brake feature in the customer programmable
features section of the Uconnect Settings.
The park brake switch is located in the inte-
grated center stack.
Electric Park Brake Switch
To apply the park brake manually, push the
switch momentarily. You may hear a slight whir-
ring sound from the back of the vehicle while
the park brake engages. Once the park brake is
fully engaged, the BRAKE warning lamp in the
instrument cluster and an indicator on the
switch will illuminate. If your foot is on the brake
pedal while you apply the park brake, you may
notice a small amount of brake pedal move-
ment. The park brake can be applied even when
the ignition switch is OFF, however, it can only
be released when the ignition switch in the ACC
or ON/RUN position.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral
Oil in the engine or damage may result.
