New vehicle break-in driving – the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km)
The performance and long life of your vehicle are dependent on how you handle and care for your vehicle while it is new. Follow these instructions during the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km):
Do not race the engine. And do not allow engine speed to exceed 4,000 rpm except in an emergency.
Do not drive at one constant engine or vehicle speed, either fast or slow.
Avoid starting suddenly and rapid ac- celeration, except in an emergency.
Avoid hard braking, except in an emer- gency.
The same break-in procedures should be applied to an overhauled engine, newly mounted engine or when brake pads are replaced with new ones.
