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 acceleration 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 “Maintaining Your

Vehicle”. NON-DETERGENT OR STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST NEVER BE

USED.

• A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles

(kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the

break-in and not interpreted as an indication of difficulty.

TURN SIGNALS/WIPER/WASHER/HIGH BEAMS LEVER

Tur n Signals/Lane Change Assist

• Tap the lever up or down once and the turn signal (right or left) will flash three

times and automatically turn off.

Wipers

Intermittent, Low And High Operation

• Rotate the end of the lever to the first detent position for one of five

intermittent settings, the second detent for low wiper operation and the third

detent for high wiper operation.

Washer Operation

• Push the end of the lever inward to the second detent and hold for as long as

spray is desired.
