Under control

I WAS told by my dealer not to use the cruise control on my Subaru Liberty for the first 2000km. They told me it was to avoid the engine being run at a constant speed during the run-in period. Is this correct?

THE old practice was to avoid maintaining the engine at a constant speed during the run-in period, but it's not needed with modern engines. We asked Subaru for an opinion and they agreed the advice you received was misguided. You can use cruise control without damaging your engine.
