Is it okay to run in a new car for 1,000 kilometers?

[VanVera]

Running in a new car for 1,000 kilometers is acceptable, as the typical break-in period ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. Below are precautions to take during the break-in period of a new car: 1. Warm up before starting: Turn the key to the second position and wait for 5-10 seconds before starting. When the ignition is turned on, the fuel pump begins working to adjust oil pressure and fuel injection, which helps protect the new car's engine. 2. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during break-in but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. 3. Avoid overloading: Running a new car at full capacity during the break-in period can damage mechanical components. Additionally, to reduce the load on the body and powertrain, choose relatively flat driving surfaces to avoid vibrations and impacts. 4. Avoid long-distance trips: Taking long trips during the break-in period increases the continuous operating time of the engine, which can easily lead to mechanical wear.
