How to Drive a Manual Transmission Car During the Break-in Period?

[LaMadeline]

When driving a new manual transmission car during the break-in period, avoid frequently depressing the clutch, do not blindly pursue high gears, and ensure swift gear shifting and clutch operation. Below are relevant details: 1. For the first 100 kilometers, the new brake pads have not yet achieved 100% braking efficiency. Allow extra braking distance, especially within the first 200 kilometers, as tire friction is insufficient, requiring more force than usual when braking. Within the first 500 kilometers, new tires have not reached optimal traction, so avoid emergency braking during sharp turns whenever possible. 2. During the first 2,500 kilometers, drive gently, keeping speed below 100 km/h and engine RPM under 2,500. Between 2,500-3,500 kilometers, once the engine reaches operating temperature (coolant temperature gauge at mid-scale), you may gradually increase to maximum speed or engine RPM.
