2-17 CADILLAC ELDORADO 1998 10.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine New Vehicle “Break-In” Ignition Positions
NOTICE:
Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But it will perform better in the long
run if you follow these guidelines:
0
0
0
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow
-- for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the first
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this breaking-in guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
Don’t tow a trailer during break-in.
See “Towing
a Trailer” in the Index for
more information.

the radio and the windsheld wipers when the engine is
off. To get into ACCESSORY, push in the key and turn it
toward you. The steering wheel will remain locked, just
as it was before you inserted the key. Once you turn the
key
to ACCESSORY, be sure to then turn it to LOCK. If
you leave your key in ACCESSORY when the engine
is
turned off, your battery will discharge prematurely.
