New Vehicle “Break-In” Ignition Switch
NOTICE:
Your *modern Oldsmobile doesn’t need an
elaborate “break-in.” But it
will perform better
in the long run
if you follow these guidelines:
0 Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow 0- for the first 500 miles (804 km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
0 Avoid making hard stops for the fist
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.
0 Don’t tow a trailer during “break-in.” See
“Towing
a Trailer” in the Index for more
information.
