Can a Brand-New Car Be Driven on the Highway?
1 Answers
Yes, but it's best to wait until after the break-in period before taking a new car on the highway. During the break-in period, keep the engine speed around 2,500 RPM and avoid staying in one gear for too long. Change the speed and gear every few minutes to allow the gears to break in evenly and prevent excessive wear on any single gear. Here are ways to identify whether a car is truly new: 1. Check the manufacturing date: The vehicle's manufacturing date should match the date on the certificate of conformity, which is usually difficult to alter. If the manufacturing date exceeds 15 days, it's considered used. 2. Inspect the brake discs: After approximately 200 kilometers of driving, brake pads typically leave noticeable marks on the brake discs. There's usually a 1-2 mm gap between the brake pads and the outer edge of the brake discs.
