- Start the vehicle with a cold engine.
- Drive for at least 15 minutes at highway speeds (55-65 mph).
- Decelerate to a stop without using the brakes (coast).

- Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the engine temperature reaches normal operating temperature.
- Drive for at least 10 minutes in city traffic conditions (stop-and-go traffic).
- Park the vehicle and turn off the engine.
