Vehicle break-in process

By following a few simple precautions for the first 600 mi. (1,000 km), you can add to the performance, economy, and life of your vehicle.

• While driving, avoid sudden acceleration.

• Do not maintain a single speed for a long time, either fast or slow. Varying the engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine.

• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.

• Fuel economy, engine performance, and engine oil consumption may differ depending on the vehicle break-in process and be stabilized after 4,000 mi. (6,000 km). New engines may consume more oil during the vehicle break-in period.

• Do not tow a trailer during the first 1,200 mi. (2,000 km) of operation.
