How Long Does the Car Break-in Period Last?
1 Answers
The break-in period for a new car refers to the initial driving distance after the vehicle leaves the factory, during which the engine components gradually wear in smoothly. The typical break-in mileage for a new car ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information: 1. Warm up before starting: This applies to fuel-injected vehicles. Before starting, turn the key to the second position and wait for 5-10 seconds before ignition. This is because the fuel pump begins operating once the ignition is turned on, adjusting oil pressure and fuel injection volume. Waiting a few seconds before starting helps protect the new car's engine. 2. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. It is advisable to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving.
