Vehicle break-in process

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

• Do not race the engine.

• While driving, avoid sudden acceleration.

• Do not maintain a single speed for long time, either fast or slow. Differing 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 vehicle break-in process and be stabilized after 6,000 km (4,000 mi.). New engines may consume more oil during the vehicle break-in period.

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