What is the appropriate speed for a new car on the highway?
1 Answers
For the first 500 kilometers, avoid heavy loads and keep the speed below 80 km/h. Within the first 1,000 kilometers, slight loads are acceptable, but the speed should not exceed 100 km/h. For the first 2,000 kilometers, the speed should not exceed 120 km/h. Here are some precautions for driving a new car on the highway: 1. Maintain a reasonable speed: A reasonable speed does not mean driving at a constant speed like cruise control, but avoiding both low-speed driving and high-RPM sudden acceleration. The speed should ideally be kept below 100 km/h, and pay attention to the engine RPM and speedometer during driving, ensuring the engine RPM does not exceed 3,000. 2. Avoid flooring the accelerator when starting or slamming on the brakes: Emergency braking can shock the braking system and increase the impact load on the chassis and engine. 3. Use gears appropriately for manual transmission cars: Avoid prolonged low-gear driving, and neither high-gear low-speed nor low-gear high-speed driving is optimal. For automatic transmission cars, relying solely on "D mode" is not recommended; using modes like S or manual mode appropriately is beneficial for the transmission. 4. Avoid full loads and especially overloading: This can cause damage to mechanical components. Additionally, if the new car is used in northern winters, it is best to allow the engine sufficient time to lubricate before starting.
