Newly purchased motor vehicles require a break-in period. The precautions for using a new car are as follows: 1. Maintain smooth acceleration, avoid sudden throttle inputs, and prevent the engine from revving too high; 2. Before starting, ensure the coolant temperature reaches at least 50 degrees Celsius, start in a low gear, and shift to a higher gear after 1 kilometer; 3. Shift gears promptly while driving, avoid prolonged use of a single gear, and refrain from using high gears at low speeds or low gears at high speeds; 4. Choose good road conditions to avoid excessive vibration and impact, and disengage the clutch before braking; 5. Use high-quality fuel and engine oil, and avoid using engine wear-resistant additives.
