Can a New Car Drive at 120 Miles Per Hour?
1 Answers
No, a new car is in the break-in period, and during this time, it is crucial to control the driving speed and avoid excessively high speeds. The speed should preferably be kept between 50 to 80 kilometers per hour. This is because the surfaces of various components in a new car are still relatively rough, and there may be certain deviations and hidden defects from the manufacturing and assembly processes. Driving at high speeds can exacerbate wear between parts or lead to safety incidents. Proper Warm-Up: During a cold start, it is best to wait until the engine coolant temperature reaches above 40 degrees before setting off. When starting, depress the clutch and accelerator gently, and avoid revving the engine in neutral. Frequent Gear Shifting: Start in a low gear and gradually shift to higher gears, driving progressively. Avoid driving in a single gear for extended periods during the break-in period. Additionally, be sure to avoid the phenomena of low-gear high-speed or high-gear low-speed driving.
