New Vehicle L6Bre-ak-In'' NOTICE: Your modern Cadillac doesn't need an elaborate "break-in." But itwill perform better in the long run if you follow these guidelines: 0 Don't drive at any one speed fast or slow for the first500 miles (804 km). Don't make full-throttle starts. 0 Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km) orso. During this time your new brake linings aren't yet broken in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear and earlier replacement. Follow this breaking-in guideline every time you get new brake linings. 0 Don't tow a trailer during break-in. See "Towing a Trailer" in the Index for more information. Ignition Positions NOTICE: If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can't turn it, be sure it is all the way in. If it is, then turn the steeringwheel left and rightwhile you turn thekey hard. But turn the only with key your hand. Using a tool to forceit could break the key or theignition switch. If none of this works, then yourvehicle needs service. -- -- 2-14
