Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your vehicle. Remember
to keep your valuables out
of sight. Put them in a storage area, or take them
with you.
Parking Lots

to lock
it up and take your keys. But what if you have to leave your ignition

New Vehicle “Break-In”
NOTICE:
Your modern vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate “break-in.” But
it will perform better in the long run if you follow these
guidelines:
0 Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or less for the first 500
miles (804 km).
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.
Don’t tow a trailer during “break-in.” See “Towing a Trailer”
in the Index for more information.

Open your glove box and look for this label:
GM 31
This label will tell you if your vehicle can carry a slide-in camper, how
much of a load your vehicle can carry, and how to spread out your load the
right way. Also, it will help
you match the right slide-in camper to your
vehicle.
When you carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo load
of your vehicle is the
weight of the camper, plus
everything else added to the camper after it left the factory;
everything in the camper; and
all the people inside.
The Cargo Weight Rating
(CWR) is the maximum weight of the load your
vehicle can carry. It doesn’t include the weight
of the people inside. But,
you can figure about 150 pounds for each seating position.
The total cargo load must
not be more than your vehicle’s CWR.
