Can a New Car Go on Long Trips During the Break-in Period?
1 Answers
New cars can go on highways during the break-in period, but there are speed limits. For domestic cars, the speed is generally limited to 40-70 km/h, while for imported cars, it is usually within 80 km/h. The precautions for the break-in period of a new car are as follows: Warm up the car before starting: Wait 5 to 10 seconds after shifting to second gear before starting; Avoid high-speed driving: New cars have speed limits during the break-in period, with domestic cars limited to 40 to 70 km/h and imported cars to 100 km/h; Avoid overloading: Carrying too much weight during the break-in period can damage the mechanical components; Avoid removing the speed limiter too early: The speed limiter is a throttle device installed between the carburetor and the intake pipe. Owners should not remove it prematurely but wait until after driving 1,000 km; Avoid changing oil too early: The initial oil used in a new car is specifically designed for the break-in period, featuring low viscosity, good heat dissipation, and excellent oxidation resistance; 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.
