of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway in 
(D (automatic/CVT) or 5th (manual). Do  not use cruise control. When traffic 
allows, drive for 90 seconds without moving  the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed 
may vary slightly; this is okay.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds 
because of traffic conditions, drive for at  least 30 seconds, then repeat it two 
more times (for a total of 90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic conditions 
allow, let the vehicle coast for several se conds without using the accelerator pedal 
or the brake pedal.
9. Park the vehicle and leave the  engine off for 30 minutes.
