Does the Mercedes-Benz GLC require a break-in period?

[VonJake]

When the Mercedes-Benz GLC is newly manufactured, due to machining precision and assembly tolerances of components, it requires a certain mileage for break-in. The quality of the break-in period significantly impacts the vehicle's lifespan, safety, and fuel efficiency. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only damages the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact on the engine and transmission. First maintenance for a new car: For the first maintenance, body care is most crucial. It is recommended to perform wax removal and other beauty treatments at a professional automotive care facility. This is key to future vehicle maintenance. Improper care can lead to vehicle issues. Avoid overloading: Overloading not only increases fuel consumption but may also cause cylinder or leaf spring fractures, significantly increasing driving hazards. The total cargo load should be kept within 70% of the rated capacity.
