Does the new Mercedes-Benz C260L need a break-in period?

[DiBentley]

Mercedes-Benz C260L requires a break-in period of 3,000 kilometers. Car components need proper running-in during initial operation, which may cause slight wear - the more carefully you drive, the less wear occurs. Break-in period precautions: 1. Avoid emergency braking: Choose relatively smooth roads when driving to avoid situations requiring emergency braking, thereby reducing load on the body and powertrain. 2. Avoid high-speed driving: The engine has limited capacity - don't overload it. Keep engine speed below 3,000 rpm. 3. Avoid overloading: Overloading makes steering heavier, increases centrifugal force, and affects handling performance. Long-term overloading also shortens vehicle lifespan and accelerates component aging. Keep total cargo weight below 70% of rated capacity. 4. Use high-quality fuel: Low-quality fuel may clog fuel lines - always use fuel that meets standards. 5. Warm up the engine when cold starting: Engine warming: First, it ensures smooth engine starting; second, it effectively saves fuel; third, it reduces wear on moving parts.
