Breaking Your Vehicle In
Your new vehicle goes through an adjustment or
break-in period during the first 1,000 miles
(1,600 km) that you drive it. During the break-in
period, you need to pay careful attention to how
you drive your vehicle.
❑
Avoid sudden stops. Because your vehicle has
new brake linings, you should take these steps:
—Watch traffic carefully so that you can
anticipate when to stop.
—Begin braking well in advance.
—Apply the brakes gradually.
The break-in period for new brake linings
lasts for 100 miles (160 km) of city driving
or 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of highway
driving.
❑
Use only the type of engine oil that Ford
recommends. See Engine oil recommendations
in the Index. Do not use special “break-in” oils.
