OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE<br />
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
• A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and<br />
axle) in your vehicle.<br />
• Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),<br />
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.<br />
• While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws<br />
contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be<br />
detrimental and should be avoided.<br />
• The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving<br />
type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under<br />
which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades,<br />
refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle”.<br />
NOTE: A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers)<br />
of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an<br />
indication of difficulty.<br />
CAUTION!<br />
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.<br />
TURN SIGNAL/WIPER/WASHER/HIGH BEAM LEVER<br />
Turn Signal/Lane Change Assist<br />
• Tap the lever up or down once and the turn signal (right or left) will flash three times and<br />
automatically turn off.<br />
• Vehicles equipped with Blind Spot Monitoring will produce a visual alert and may be<br />
programmed to produce an audible alert when signaling a lane change; refer to your<br />
Owner’s Manual on the DVD for operation.<br />
