Break-in period
First 600 miles: Avoid heavy
braking and acceleration; drive at
varying road and engine speeds
Tip: Follow same procedures
with overhauled engine or
when brakes are replaced
Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS)
When brake pedal is pressed, ABS
automatically reduces hydraulic
pressure to any wheel on the
verge of locking up
You may feel a slight pulsing
of the brake pedal and hear a
clicking noise; this tells you the
ABS is functioning properly;
increase pressure on pedal
for maximum brakingTips: Maintain constant
pressure on the brake pedal
Do not pump the brakes
Traction Control System*
Automatically applies and releases
brakes to prevent excessive wheel
spin at all speeds, especially when
accelerating on slippery surfaces
Tire economy and tips
Check pressure at least monthly
when tires are cold
Maintain correct front-end
alignment and tire balance;
rotate tires at 3,750-mile
intervals; see Owner’s Manual
for rotation chartTire pressure
Decal on the edge of the
driver’s door provides tire
pressure information
Tire chains*
Install only on front tires;
install as tightly as possible and
retighten periodically
