Driving Hints

BREAKING-IN

You need to break in new tires for approximately 300 mi (480 km).

During this time, your vehicle may exhibit some unique driving characteristics. Avoid driving too fast during the first 1000 mi (1600 km).

Vary your speed frequently and change up through the gears early. Do not labor the engine. Do not tow during the first 1000 miles (1600 km).
