Is It Good to Drive a New Car on the Highway?

[PeterFitz]

It is acceptable to drive a new car on the highway, but you should avoid sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration, and overloading. Here are some precautions for using a new car: 1. Avoid Overloading: Carrying too much weight during the break-in period can damage the mechanical components. Since the powertrain parts of a new car are not fully worn in, aggressive acceleration may cause irreversible damage. Therefore, it is essential to follow the principle of "slow and steady" during the break-in period. 2. Speed Limits for New Cars: For domestic cars, the recommended speed is generally between 40~70 km/h, while for imported cars, it is around 100 km/h. When the throttle is fully open, the speed should not exceed 80% of the maximum speed. The recommended engine RPM during the break-in period is between 2000~4000 RPM.
