How often should I drive a new car if it's not used frequently?
1 Answers
Drive a new car at least once a week if it's not used frequently. Problems caused by prolonged parking: The battery may drain if not charged regularly, making it difficult to start the car; tires may deform due to uneven pressure distribution when parked in one position for too long. Precautions when restarting after long-term parking: Always allow the engine to warm up at idle speed when using a car that has been parked for an extended period. If the car idles roughly when warming up, it's recommended to rev the engine slightly while stationary. For vehicles parked excessively long, consider entrusting them to someone to drive at least 5 kilometers weekly, ensuring the battery gets charged and all components maintain proper operation.
