How to Remove New Car Odor?
1 Answers
Methods to remove new car odor: 1. Open the windows appropriately for ventilation, which helps volatile odors dissipate. 2. Place odor-absorbing materials in the car, such as activated charcoal or bamboo charcoal. 3. Place natural fragrant substances like lemon or orange peels in the car to mask the odor. Six Major Taboos During the New Car Break-in Period: 1. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. It is best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. 2. Avoid overloading: Running a new car at full load during the break-in period can damage the components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers, the load should generally not exceed 75%-80% of the rated capacity. 3. Avoid long-distance trips: Driving long distances during the break-in period increases the continuous working time of the engine, which can easily lead to component wear. 4. Avoid high-speed driving: There are speed limits during the new car break-in period. Generally, the speed should be kept below 100 km/h. When the throttle is fully open, the speed should not exceed 80% of the maximum speed. Also, monitor the engine RPM and speedometer to ensure the engine operates at medium speed. Typically, the engine RPM during the break-in period should be between 2,000-4,000 rpm. 5. Avoid changing the oil too early: The initial oil in a new car is specially formulated for the break-in period, with low viscosity, excellent heat dissipation, cleaning, and antioxidant properties. Some manufacturers even add grinding agents to aid the break-in process. Therefore, only change the oil as specified by the manufacturer and avoid doing so prematurely. 6. Avoid starting without warming up: Always warm up a new car before driving. Warming up allows sufficient lubrication time for the engine, especially for turbocharged models, which require at least one minute of warm-up before driving.
