Pulling the car for a new vehicle refers to high-speed driving, generally meaning taking the car on the highway after the break-in period. The purpose of this is to allow the new pistons and camshaft inside the engine to experience their first rapid operation, ensuring better contact between them. Additionally, it enables the transmission gears inside the gearbox to experience high-speed rotation, making the meshing between the new gears smoother. High-speed driving can help the car achieve better power performance in future driving and smoother gear shifting. Below are some precautions for new vehicles: 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. 2. Avoid overloading: Running a new vehicle at full capacity during the break-in period can damage the components. 3. Avoid high-speed driving: There should be speed limits, and pay attention to the engine RPM and speedometer while driving.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Jade?

Reference for the actual fuel consumption of the Honda Jade: For the 1.5T, CVT version Jade owners, the fuel consumption range per 100 kilometers is 7.08~9.37L, with an average of 8.23L; for the 1.8L, 5-speed automatic Jade owners, the range is 7.24~9.60L, averaging 8.42L; for the 1.8L, CVT version Jade owners, the range is 7.04~9.27L, averaging 8.15L. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Correctly adjust tire inflation pressure: Maintaining the correct tire pressure can reduce rolling resistance and lower fuel consumption. Additionally, slightly higher tire pressure than the recommended value by +0.2bar can also save fuel. 2. Moderate use of in-car auxiliary electrical equipment: Using certain electrical equipment can significantly increase fuel consumption, such as the air conditioning system's cooling function. If the heating purpose has been achieved, the seat heater should be turned off promptly. The rear window heater should be turned off when there is no fog or ice on the rear window.

Is engine oil emulsification related to driving distance?

Engine oil emulsification is related to driving distance. Long-distance medium-to-high-speed driving can alleviate or eliminate the phenomena of oil dilution and emulsification. When the engine temperature rises, it promotes the evaporation of moisture in the oil, causing the emulsification to disappear. Engine oil emulsification can generally be divided into two categories: oil filler cap emulsification and oil pan emulsification. Here is the relevant information: 1. The cause of the former is more common. Frequent short-distance driving in winter can prevent the engine from operating at normal working temperatures for extended periods, leading to ineffective dispersion of moisture, which then condenses on areas like the oil filler cap and mixes with oil droplets attached to these areas, forming emulsions. 2. The latter occurs when a large amount of water mixes into the engine oil. This can be caused by various factors, such as water entering the oil due to poor sealing in the engine heat exchanger, water entering the oil during combustion, and the failure of the oil separator and PCV valve causing water to flow back, among others.
