Can a New Car Handle Long-Distance Trips?

[LylaAnn]

New cars are capable of long-distance travel, but the following precautions should be observed: 1. Maintain a speed below 100 km/h and avoid engine RPM exceeding 3000; 2. Do not exceed the rated load capacity; 3. Avoid sudden braking and aggressive driving to prevent shock to systems during the break-in period, which could shorten their lifespan; 4. Steer clear of uneven road surfaces; 5. Refrain from horseplay or phone use while driving; 6. Check tire pressure and lights before entering highways. Additional new car usage tips include: 1. Start smoothly without abrupt acceleration and avoid high engine RPM; 2. Ensure coolant temperature reaches at least 50°C before starting, begin in low gear, then shift to higher gear after 1 km; 3. Shift gears promptly during driving—avoid prolonged single-gear use, high-gear low-speed driving, or low-gear high-speed driving.
