New Vehicle
“Break-In”
NOTICE:
Your modem Pontiac doesn’t need
an elaborate “break-in.” But it
will
perform better in the long run if you
follow these guidelines:
0
0
Don’t drive at any one speed
-- fast or slow -- for the first
500 miles (804 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.

Problems on the Road
To Jump Start Your
Pontiac: (CONK)
5. Check that the jumper cables don’t
have loose or missing insulation.
If
they do, you could get a shock. The
vehicle? could be damaged, too.
Before you connect the cables, here
are some basic things
you should
know. Positive
(+) will go to positive
(+) and negative (-) will go to negative
(-) or a metal engine part.
Don’t connect (+) to (-) or you’ll get a
short that would damage the battery
and maybe other parts, too.
6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle
with the dead battery.
Use a remote positive (+) terminal if
the vehicle has one.
