Can a brand-new car be driven on the highway?

[BeckettLynn]

Yes, but since the car is in the break-in period, avoid aggressive acceleration and braking. Here are some precautions during the break-in period: 1. Try to avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. It is best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. 2. Avoid overloading: If a new car is overloaded during the break-in period, it can cause damage to the components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers of driving, the load should generally not exceed 75%-80% of the rated capacity. 3. Driving on the highway: If a new car is driven long distances during the break-in period, the engine's continuous working time will increase, which can lead to component wear. It is recommended to maintain a speed of 120 km/h with the engine RPM not exceeding 3,000. If the RPM exceeds 3,000, consider reducing the speed to keep it at 3,000 RPM. During long-distance driving, take breaks at service areas for about ten minutes.
