Is There a Break-in Period for a New Car?

[VanCaden]

There is a break-in period for a new car. The recommended speed during this period is between 70 to 80 kilometers per hour, and the break-in mileage is approximately 500 kilometers. The break-in period is a fundamental process to ensure that the mechanical components fully contact, friction, adapt, and settle in. During this period, the car's parts can adjust and enhance their ability to adapt to the environment, smoothing out any protrusions on the components. Precautions to take during the break-in period include: 1. Warm up the engine before starting; 2. Avoid emergency braking; 3. Avoid overloading; 4. Do not drive long distances; 5. Avoid high-speed driving; 6. Use high-quality gasoline; 7. Do not remove the speed limiter prematurely; 8. Shift gears promptly; 9. Properly adjust the ignition and fuel supply systems.
