ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and
axle) 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 an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.
TURN SIGNAL/LIGHTS LEVER
Headlights/Parking Lights/Automatic
Headlights
• Rotate the end of the lever to the first
detent for parking lights, the
second detent for headlights, and
the third detent for AUTO.
• When set to AUTO, the system auto-
matically turns the headlights on or off
based on ambient light levels.
Instrument Panel Dimmer
• Rotate the center portion of the lever
to the extreme bottom position to fully
dim the instrument panel lights and
prevent the interior lights from illumi-
nating when a door is opened.
•Rotate the center portion of the lever up to increase the brightness of the instrument
panel lights when the parking lights or headlights are on.

the odometer and radio controls when the parking lights or headlights are on.
• Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the last detent to turn on the
interior lighting.
Flash To Pass
• Pull the lever toward you to activate the high beams. The high beams will remain
on until the lever is released.
High Beam Operation
• Push the lever forward to activate the high beams.
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.
Fog Lights
• Turn on the parking lights or low beam headlights and pull out the end of the lever.
Turn Signals/Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once and the turn signal (right or left) will flash three times
and automatically turn off.
WIPER/WASHER LEVER
Front Wipers
Intermittent, Low And High Operation
• Rotate the end of the lever to the first
detent position for one of five intermit-
tent settings, the second detent for low
wiper operation and the third detent
for high wiper operation.
Washer Operation
• Pull the lever toward you and hold for
as long as spray is desired.
Mist
•Pull down on the lever and release when
a single wipe is desired.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will
be sprayed on the windshield. The wash function must be activated in order to spray
the windshield with washer fluid.
