YOUR CAR'S FIRST

FEW HUNDRED MILES

DRIVING

You can operate your new car from

its very first mile without adhering

to a formal "break-in" schedule.

However, during the first few hun-

dred miles of driving you can, by

observing a

few

simple precautions,

add to the future performance and

economy of your

cat

recommended that your

speed during the first 500 miles

be confined to a maximum of 60

M.P.H., but do not drive for ex-

tended periods at

anyone

constant

speed, either fast or slow. Dur-

ing this period, avoid full throttle

starts and, if possible, avoid hard

stops especially during the first 200

miles of operation since brake mis-

use during this period will destroy

much future brake efficiency.

Always drive at moderate speed

until the engine has completely

warmed up.
