ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
• A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission andaxle) in your vehicle.
• Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
• While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
• The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate
conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended
viscosity and quality grades, refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
NOTE: A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles
(kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not
interpreted as an indication of difficulty.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.
TURN SIGNAL/LIGHTS/HIGH BEAM LEVER
Turn Signal/Lane Change Assist
• Tap the lever up or down once and the turn signal (right or left) will flash briefly to indicate a lane change and automatically turn off.
Headlights/Parking Lights
• The ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position for the headlights to operate.
• Rotate the end of the lever to the first detent for parking lights and headlightoperation.

High Beams
• Push the lever forward to activate the high beams.
• A high beam symbol will illuminate in the cluster to indicate the high beams are on.
NOTE: For safe driving, turn off the high beams when oncoming traffic is present to
prevent headlight glare and as a courtesy to other motorists.
Flash To Pass
• Pull the lever toward you to activate the high beams. The high beams will remain on until the lever is released.
Headlight Delay (Follow Me Home)
• Within two minutes from when the engine is turned off and the ignition key is in theOFF/LOCK position or removed, pull the turn signal lever toward the steering wheel.
• Each movement of the lever toward the steering wheel will increase the illumination period by 30 seconds, up to a maximum of 210 seconds.
Fog Lights
• Push the fog light button, located onthe climate controls, once to turn on the
fog lights.
• Push the button a second time to turn the fog lights off.
