There are countless roads, safety is the first priority. The following are the details: Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking can impact the braking system during the break-in period and increase the load on the chassis and engine. Avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. Avoid overloading: Running a new car at full load during the break-in period can damage the components. Within the first 1000 kilometers of driving, the load should not exceed 75%-80% of the rated capacity. Avoid long-distance driving: Long-distance driving during the break-in period increases the continuous working time of the engine, which can easily cause wear and tear on the components.

I just bought a new car and I'm feeling great, but I need to be careful during the first few months. The engine and transmission of a new car are in the break-in period, roughly the first thousand kilometers. It's best to avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking, allowing the parts to gradually adapt. After each start-up, let the car warm up for a minute to allow the oil temperature to rise before driving, which helps prevent rapid engine wear. Avoid prolonged high-speed driving; maintaining a steady speed of 70-80 km/h is ideal, and don't use cruise control at high speeds. New tires also need a break-in period. When carrying heavy loads, like during a move, keep the load light to reduce stress on the body. Try to park in the shade to avoid prolonged sun exposure, which can accelerate paint aging. For the first wash, use specialized foam and avoid hard water to prevent surface scratches. Regularly check tire pressure and oil levels, and make sure to schedule the first maintenance on time. Maintenance records are crucial as they affect future warranty claims and resale value. Paying attention to these small details will help keep your new car running smoothly and lasting longer.

What are the symptoms of a warped brake disc?

Symptoms of a warped brake disc include abnormal braking noises and vibrations during braking. In such cases, the brake disc needs to be replaced to ensure driving safety. A brake disc is a circular disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force; when the brake is applied, the caliper grips the disc to slow down or stop the vehicle. Braking systems include disc brakes, drum brakes, and air brakes. Older vehicles often feature front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, while many modern vehicles use disc brakes on both front and rear wheels. Disc brakes offer better heat dissipation compared to drum brakes, reducing the risk of heat fade during high-speed braking, which results in superior high-speed braking performance.

What does wheel speed rating mean?

Wheel speed rating refers to the maximum speed at which a wheel can carry a specified load under defined conditions. The speed rating is denoted by English letters, representing the tire's maximum permissible speed capability. These letters follow the sequence of the 26-letter English alphabet, with later letters indicating higher maximum speed limits. The speed ratings corresponding to each letter are as follows: 1. Q: 160 km/h; 2. R: 170 km/h; 3. S: 180 km/h; 4. T: 190 km/h; 5. H: 210 km/h; 6. V: 240 km/h; 7. W: 270 km/h.

What is the impact of rear wheel camber on a car?

Rear wheel camber affects a car in the following aspects: 1. It causes wear on the outer side of the tire: Especially during cornering, it can wear the tire sidewall, which is very dangerous as the sidewall lacks steel belts, and severe cases may lead to tire blowouts. 2. It can cause unstable driving: Because the tire exerts an outward force, even slight bumps can make driving unstable. 3. Camber angle: The camber angle is designed to complement the toe angle. The camber angle can be simply understood as the angle at which the wheel tilts outward. The ideal angle is 0, or slightly outward to prevent unavoidable tire wear caused by the toe angle.

What is the actual range of the Geely GSe 400?

According to relevant reports, Geely will launch the 2019 Emgrand GSe Beijing Edition model. The new model has improved range performance, with the official range increasing from 353 kilometers to 400 kilometers. Introduction to driving range: Driving range, also known as endurance, refers to the total distance that a vehicle or ship can travel continuously with maximum fuel reserves. Range of electric vehicles: The driving range of an electric vehicle refers to the distance traveled from a fully charged state of the power battery to the end of the test under standard conditions, which is an important economic indicator for electric vehicles.

What is the ground clearance of the MG6?

MG6 has a minimum ground clearance of 143mm (unladen). Definition of ground clearance: Ground clearance (or minimum ground clearance) is defined as the distance between the lowest protruding point of the vehicle's undercarriage and a level ground surface when the vehicle is fully loaded. Impact of ground clearance: Minimum ground clearance reflects a vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain without scraping. Generally, passenger cars have a ground clearance between 110mm and 150mm. A lower ground clearance (typically below 11cm) provides better high-speed stability but results in poorer off-road capability.
