Precautions for the Break-in Period of an Automatic Transmission New Car

[Jeffrey]

Precautions for the break-in period of an automatic transmission new car are as follows: 1. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the load on the chassis and engine. Therefore, it is best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. 2. Do not overload: Running a new car at full load during the break-in period can damage the components. Hence, within the first 1,000 kilometers, the load should generally not exceed 75%-80% of the rated capacity. 3. Minimize long-distance driving: If a new car starts long-distance driving during the break-in period, the continuous working time of the engine increases, which can easily lead to component wear.
