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

[McHeidi]

Tiguan L 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 working to adjust oil pressure and injection volume. Waiting a few seconds before starting helps protect the new engine. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. It is advisable to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. Prevent excessive load: If a new car is operated at full load during the break-in period, it can cause damage to mechanical components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers of driving, domestic vehicles should not exceed 75%-80% of the rated load capacity.
