Geely Binrui's break-in period is 3,000 kilometers. Introduction to the car break-in period: Depending on the frequency of car usage, the duration of the break-in period may vary. The car reaches its most balanced state after the first maintenance, at which point driving becomes the smoothest. Precautions during the break-in period for Geely Binrui: During the break-in period, try to reduce the vehicle's self-weight and keep the load below 70% of the vehicle's capacity. Otherwise, it may put pressure on the tires and accelerate tire wear. Also, during the break-in period, it is advisable to use high-quality fuel to keep the engine in a good working condition. This not only speeds up engine lubrication but also extends the engine's lifespan.

Having driven for decades, I've understood the importance of the break-in period since my first old car. The break-in period for the Geely Binrui is typically around 1,500 kilometers. The manual usually recommends avoiding high-speed driving during this period, such as not exceeding 80 kilometers per hour, and keeping the engine RPM below 3,000. New car components need time to gradually adapt; poor break-in can lead to premature wear, making repairs troublesome. When I drove the Binrui, I was particularly cautious during the first 1,000 kilometers, only driving slowly in urban areas. After the break-in, fuel consumption decreased significantly, and the engine sound became smoother. Don’t forget to regularly check the engine oil and replace it promptly, as this greatly impacts the lifespan of a new car. In short, spending time on proper break-in can save a lot of money and time on future maintenance.

I just got my Geely Binyue last year, and the owner's manual stated a break-in period of 1,500 kilometers. Back then, I learned not to drive aggressively, especially keeping a steady speed for the first 500 kilometers. The salesperson said it's good for the new car's engine. Actually, the break-in period passed quite quickly—just accumulating some mileage during daily commutes did the trick. I once tried driving carelessly on the highway, and the car started shaking a bit. After that, I drove more gently, and the fuel consumption actually dropped. I’d recommend avoiding heavy loads or prolonged use of the air conditioner to let the car adapt gradually and prevent part damage. After the break-in period and the first maintenance, the car ran much smoother. This is really practical and can extend the car's lifespan.

Can You Still Drive When the Oil Life is 0?

When the oil life reaches 0, it is not recommended to continue driving. Here is some extended information about oil life: 1. The vehicle's computer alerts you about oil life based on preset mileage. 2. If the oil life displays as 0, check whether it is due to a data error caused by not resetting after an oil change or prolonged disuse of the oil. 3. Engine oil has a shelf life and cannot be used indefinitely. The shelf life of oil depends on its condition. Unopened engine oil can last up to five years; leftover oil after a car service, being opened, has a shortened shelf life of about one year; oil already poured into the engine has the shortest shelf life, approximately six months. 4. While checking the car's oil, you can use an oil inspection filter paper to test if the oil has deteriorated. By dripping oil onto the filter paper, three important ring-shaped areas can be observed: the deposit ring, the diffusion ring, and the outer oil ring, which indicate the oil's contamination level, the dispersing ability of additives against contaminants, and the oil's oxidation level.

What are the causes of brake noise after vehicle startup?

Vehicle startup after the brake noise causes are: 1, too slow to release the brake caused; 2, the new replacement of the brake pads running-in is not in place; 3, sand particles into the middle of the brake pads and brake discs; 4, the brake disc fixing screws are lost or damaged; 5, the brake system failure. The brake maintenance methods are: 1, high temperature protection, to prevent the brake system corrosion, to prevent the brake pads due to high temperature surface bite, to eliminate the brake pads scream; 2, regular replacement of brake oil; 3, clean the brake discs, brake drums and any parts of the oil stains, dirt and friction dust, to maintain the brake disc heat dissipation good; 4, regular inspection of the thickness of the brake pads or brake shoes.

What Causes the Brake Pedal to Be Hard to Press and the Car Unable to Start?

Here are the reasons why the brake pedal is hard to press and the car cannot start: 1. Vacuum booster pump leakage: If the car's vacuum booster pump leaks or malfunctions, the force required to press the brake pedal increases because the brake booster is not functioning properly. If it fails, the brake loses its power assistance, making it difficult to press. 2. Normal phenomenon: The inability to press the brake pedal after the engine is turned off is related to the brake booster pump. The brake booster pump only continuously generates vacuum when the engine is running. When the engine is off, it relies on the remaining vacuum assistance, but this will restore once the engine starts, and it is not a malfunction. Additional info: In driving, to prevent unexpected situations like sudden movement or rolling when starting the car, automatic transmission models are designed to require pressing the brake pedal to start. If the brake pedal is not pressed, the car will not start successfully. Moreover, the gear must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) when starting an automatic transmission car. If started in N without the handbrake engaged, the car may roll. Therefore, the "press brake to start" design is entirely for safety considerations.

Is Brake Maintenance Necessary?

Brake maintenance is necessary. Only by timely servicing the components of the brake system and cleaning and lubricating the safety parts can the accuracy and safety of the brakes be ensured. Below are the phenomena that may occur if the brake system is not maintained for a long time: 1. Abnormal noise: The dust from normal wear of the brake pads accumulates near the brake calipers, and if not cleaned for a long time, it can cause abnormal noise; the sound-damping and vibration-damping plates of the brake pads, if not cleaned and lubricated for a long time, can also cause brake noise. 2. Abnormal wear: When driving on gravel roads, some particles may splash between the brake pads and brake discs, causing noise or abnormal wear. 3. Brake deviation: If the dust cover of the sliding shaft of the caliper is damaged, driving through water or mud puddles can cause the caliper shaft to rust and seize, the caliper to not return to position, reduced braking force, and brake deviation.
