GMC Terrain: Starting and Operating / New Vehicle Break-In
Caution
The vehicle does not need an
elaborate break-in. But it will
perform better in the long run if
you follow these guidelines:
- Do not drive at any one
constant speed, fast or slow,
for the first 800 km (500 mi).
Do not make full-throttle
starts. Avoid downshifting to
brake or slow the vehicle.
- Avoid making hard stops for
the first 300 km (200 mi) or
so. During this time the new
brake linings are not 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.
Following break-in, engine speed
and load can be gradually
increased.
The vehicle has an electronic
keyless ignition with pushbutton
start.
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter must be in the vehicle for
the system to operate...
Other information:
Shift the vehicle into P (Park) or
N (Neutral). To restart the engine
when the vehicle is already moving,
use N (Neutral) only.
Caution
Do not try to shift to P (Park) if the
vehicle is moving. If you do, you
could damage the transmission.
Shift to P (Park) only when the
vehicle is stopped...
To adjust a power driver seat,
if equipped:
Move the seat forward or
rearward by sliding the control
forward or rearward.
Raise or lower the front part of
the seat cushion by moving the
front of the control up or down.
Raise or lower the entire seat by
moving the rear of the control up
or down...
