What are the precautions during the break-in period of the Tiguan L?

[ArcherAnn]

Tiguan L's break-in period requires attention to three main aspects: preheating before starting, avoiding emergency braking, and preventing excessive load. Below are detailed explanations: Preheating before starting: For fuel-injected vehicles, before starting, turn the key to the second position and wait for 5-10 seconds before ignition. This is because once the ignition is turned on, the fuel pump begins operating to adjust oil pressure and injection volume. Waiting a few seconds before starting helps protect the new engine. Avoiding emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during the break-in period but also increases impact loads on the chassis and engine. It is advisable to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. Preventing excessive load: If a new car operates at full capacity during the break-in period, it can cause damage to mechanical components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers, domestic vehicles should not exceed 75%-80% of their rated load capacity.
