Can a Car in the Break-in Period Be Driven on the Highway?
1 Answers
New cars can absolutely be driven on the highway during the break-in period, as long as other operational guidelines are followed. There is no need to worry about highway driving causing any harm to the new car. Most new cars undergo "cold break-in" before leaving the factory, where the engine is mounted on a specialized machine and run-in using an electric motor. During this process, most burrs on the parts are smoothed out. Additional information: The current maximum speed limit on highways in China is 120 km/h, which is easily achievable for most cars. However, it is important to note that the key restriction during the break-in period is the engine RPM. Generally, when the speed reaches 120 km/h, the RPM should not exceed 3,000. Experienced drivers will notice that even without reaching 3,000 RPM, the vehicle speed can already meet the maximum highway speed limit in China.
