Can a newly purchased car run on the highway? It is possible, but you need to control the speed and engine RPM. Precautions for driving on the highway include: 1. The driver and front-seat passenger should fasten their seat belts, and the driver should not answer phone calls; 2. Avoid sudden steering wheel movements while driving at high speeds; 3. Do not change lanes arbitrarily while driving. When changing lanes or overtaking the vehicle in front, you must turn on the turn signal in advance; 4. When overtaking, only use the adjacent lane. After overtaking, immediately return to the driving lane. Do not ride or drive on the lane divider; 5. Do not reverse, drive in the opposite direction, make U-turns or turns by crossing the central divider, do not test drive or operate a training vehicle, and do not overtake or park on the ramp; 6. Maintain a distance of at least 100 meters between vehicles. When the speed is below 100 km/h, the distance from the vehicle in front in the same lane can be appropriately shortened.
Just bought a new car, I always recall my decades of driving experience. The break-in period is particularly important, just like new shoes need to be broken in. The engine needs to adapt slowly during the first few hundred kilometers, as high-speed driving can increase temperature and accelerate part wear. It's recommended not to exceed 80 kilometers per hour before the first maintenance, avoiding sudden acceleration or prolonged cruising. During this time, I drive more on city roads to get used to it, allowing the engine gears to wear in smoothly. Regularly check the engine oil and coolant to ensure proper lubrication. Once broken in, the car responds faster and fuel consumption is lower. Being patient with this step protects your beloved car in the long run. I remember the first time I skipped the break-in, the car aged prematurely and needed several repairs. Drive your new car carefully, and wait until after the break-in to enjoy high-speed driving.
