1 Answers
The break-in period for the GAC Trumpchi GS4, as stated in the user manual, is 1500 kilometers. It is safer and more appropriate to drive on highways after the break-in period is completed. It is important to note that the break-in period is not just for the engine but for all components of the vehicle. Generally, the first 200–500 kilometers mainly involve breaking in the tires and brakes, so avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking. It is best to avoid aggressive driving within the first 3000 kilometers, and the engine RPM should preferably not exceed 2500. During the break-in period of a new car, the following aspects should be noted: 1. Allow a warm-up period during cold starts, and wait for the water temperature to change before driving, usually about 2–3 minutes. In summer, when temperatures are high, warming up for about 1 minute is sufficient. 2. During the break-in period, the maximum speed should not exceed 100 km/h, but prolonged low-speed driving should also be avoided. Pay attention to gear changes. 3. Avoid overloading the vehicle with passengers or cargo. 4. Follow the manufacturer or 4S store's requirements and schedule the first maintenance on time.
