Vehicle Break-In Process
No special break-in period is needed. By following a
few simple precautions for the first 1,000 km(600 miles)
you may add to the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of
time, either fast or slow. Varying engine speeds are
beneficial for proper engine break-in.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow
the brakes to seat properly.
• Avoid full-throttle starts.
