There are four main precautions for breaking in a new car. Below is a detailed introduction to the precautions for breaking in a new car: 1. Proper warm-up: Proper warm-up helps the engine oil form an "oil film" between engine components, thereby reducing wear on engine parts. 2. Timely gear shifting: When driving a manual transmission model during the break-in period, shift gears promptly and appropriately to avoid incorrect behaviors such as high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM, and do not use a single gear for an extended period. 3. Timely maintenance: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations in the vehicle manual, and after reaching a certain mileage or time, promptly conduct vehicle inspection and maintenance, replace engine oil, oil filter, etc., and thoroughly inspect the chassis system. 4. Pay attention to the condition of the engine oil: During the break-in period, the engine is in a critical phase of "gradual adaptation," and the tiny metal particles generated during the operation of its components will mix into the engine oil. If the engine oil is not replaced in time, it will increase engine wear.

Do You Need to Press the Clutch When Braking in Neutral?

Braking in neutral does not require pressing the clutch. Here are some considerations regarding braking and the clutch: 1. No Need to Press the Clutch: When the vehicle needs to slow down during normal driving, after releasing the accelerator, if the desired speed reduction hasn't been achieved, braking is used to adjust the speed. Generally, there's no need to press the clutch in this situation. However, as per standard practice, the left foot should rest on the clutch pedal, ready to press it if necessary. 2. Need to Press the Clutch: During driving, if frequent operation of the clutch is required, it can cause relative sliding between the clutch's driving and driven parts, generating frictional heat. If this heat is not dissipated in time, it can significantly affect the clutch's operational reliability and service life.
