1 Answers
New car running-in speed is generally 50-90km/h, with some models allowing slightly higher speeds, but not exceeding 110km/h. Below are the relevant details: Precautions during the running-in period: During the running-in period, avoid excessive engine load, prolonged driving, especially prolonged high-speed driving. Operate each gear gently, avoid sudden acceleration, and start or climb slopes smoothly, avoiding overly aggressive maneuvers. Speed and RPM for various running-in stages of a new car: For the first 500 kilometers of a new car, maintain a speed of 60-70 mph with RPM not exceeding 2200. From 500 to 1000 kilometers, during the mid-running-in period, keep speed at 90-100 km/h with RPM below 2500. From 1000 to 1500 kilometers, in the late running-in period, speed can be increased to below 120 mph with RPM not exceeding 3000.
