Can a new car be driven on the highway? Will it affect the break-in period?

[OKeira]

It is not recommended to drive a new car on the highway as it may affect the break-in period. Long-distance driving during the break-in period can easily cause wear and tear on the components. Additionally, avoid emergency braking during the break-in period, as it can impact the braking system that is still being broken in. Do not overload the new car; running at full capacity during the break-in period can damage the components. Here are some key points to note during the break-in period: 1. The initial break-in period is up to 500 kilometers, during which the speed should not be too fast, generally below 70 to 80 km/h, and the engine speed should not exceed 2200 rpm; 2. The mid-term break-in period is from 500 to 1000 kilometers, where the maximum speed can be appropriately increased to around 90 to 100 km/h, with the engine speed still below 2500 rpm; 3. The late break-in period is from 1000 to 1500 kilometers, during which the speed can be increased to below 120 km/h, with the engine speed not exceeding 3000 rpm.
