Key in the Ignition 
If you  walk away from  your vehicle  with the keys  inside, it’s an easy target 
for  joy  riders  or professional  thieves 
- so don’t do it. 
When  you park your vehicle and open the  driver’s door, you‘ll  hear a tone 
reminding 
you to  remove  your  key from  the ignition and take it with  you. 
Always  do  this. 
Your steering  wheel will be locked,  and so will your 
ignition.  If  you have 
an automatic  transmission,  taking your key out also 
locks your transmission.  And remember  to lock the  doors. 
Parking at Night 
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 
If you  park in a lot where  someone  will be watching your vehicle,  it‘s  best 
to  lock 
it up  and take  your  keys.  But what if you have to leave your ignition 
key?  What  if 
you have to leave  something valuable in your  vehicle? 
Put your valuables  in a storage area, like your  glove  box. 
Lock all the  doors  except the driver’s. 
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: 
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.

Truck-Camper  Loading  Information 
Open your glove box door and look for this label: 
4-39 
ProCarManuals.com 
     
        
        Page 214 of 488
This label will tell  you  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  seat. 
The  total  cargo  load must  not  be more than your  vehicle’s CWR.

It’s very helpful if you ever  need  to  order parts. On this label is:

Add-on  Electrical  Equipment 
NOTICE: 
Don’t  add  anything  electrical  to your  vehicle  unless  you  check 
with  your  dealer  first.  Some  electrical  equipment  can  damage 
your  vehicle  and  the  damage  wouldn’t  be  covered  by  your 
warranty.  Some  add-on  electrical  equipment  can  keep  other 
components  from  working  as they  should. 
Your vehicle has  an air  bag  system. Before attempting to add anything 
electrical  to your vehicle,  see “Servicing  Your Air Bag-Equipped  Vehicle” 
in the Index.
