How to Break in a New Automatic Transmission Car?
1 Answers
New automatic transmission car break-in methods: 1. Pay attention to break-in mileage: The break-in period for a new car is generally around 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers; 2. Proper warm-up: New cars with insufficient break-in require more reasonable warm-up, especially during low winter temperatures. Generally, drive the vehicle within 30 seconds to 1 minute after starting, but at low speed, and wait for the water temperature to normalize before resuming normal driving; 3. Flexibly vary speed: During the break-in period, the transmission needs proper breaking in. However, automatic transmission cars cannot switch gears back and forth like manual transmission cars for break-in. They can only be broken in through speed variations. Try to choose flat roads during the break-in period and minimize emergency braking; 4. Avoid heavy-load break-in: When breaking in the vehicle, control the car's load. During the break-in period, it's best to run the car empty or with light loads. Full loads can cause abnormal wear to the engine and other components, and in severe cases, shorten their service life.
