The break-in period for the GAC Trumpchi GS4, according to the user manual, is 1,500 kilometers. It is safer and more appropriate to drive on highways after the vehicle has completed its break-in period. It's 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. Here are some additional details: Precautions: Engine speed should not be too high; it's best not to exceed 2,500 RPM. A speed of 60-90 kilometers per hour is ideal. During cold starts, there should be a warm-up process; wait until the water temperature changes before driving, usually around 2-3 minutes. In summer, when temperatures are higher, warming up for about 1 minute is sufficient. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking, and try to maintain a steady speed. During the break-in period, the maximum speed should not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, but prolonged low-speed driving should also be avoided. Pay attention to gear changes. Avoid overloading the vehicle with passengers or cargo. Follow the manufacturer or 4S store's requirements and perform the first maintenance in a timely manner.
The break-in period for the Trumpchi GS4 is generally between 1,500 to 2,000 kilometers, based on my experience having driven several car models. After purchasing a new car, avoid rushing to drive at high speeds or accelerate abruptly, especially during the first 500 kilometers. Keep the engine RPM below 3,000 to prevent excessive wear. Try to maintain a steady speed during daily driving and avoid fully loaded uphill climbs, as this helps internal components break in better and extends the vehicle's overall lifespan. After the break-in period, get the first maintenance service done, including an oil change and filter replacement to ensure no metal debris remains. I believe the key to this process lies in developing good habits—smooth driving not only saves fuel but also makes the car more reliable in the long run and much more comfortable to drive.
