Is It a Good Omen for a New Car to Have Minor Scratches and Dents?
1 Answers
Minor scratches and dents on a new car are not a good omen. Here are some precautions for using a new car: 1. Preheating the cold engine: Proper preheating helps form an "oil film" between engine components, thereby reducing wear and tear. 2. Timely gear shifting while driving: When driving a manual transmission car during the break-in period, shift gears promptly and appropriately to avoid incorrect behaviors such as high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM. Also, avoid using a single gear for an extended period. 3. Timely maintenance: Simply follow the manufacturer's recommendations in the vehicle manual. After reaching a certain mileage or time, promptly conduct vehicle inspections and maintenance, including oil and oil filter changes, along with a comprehensive check of the chassis system. 4. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the vehicle's chassis and engine.
