What is the recommended mileage for the break-in period of a new Audi Q5?
1 Answers
Audi Q5's break-in period generally requires driving approximately 500 kilometers. Below are some precautions to note during the break-in period: 1. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during break-in but also increases the shock load on the chassis and engine. It is best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. 2. Avoid overloading: Overloading a new car during the break-in period can damage mechanical components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers, the load should generally not exceed 5%-80% of the rated capacity. 3. Avoid long-distance trips: Long-distance driving during the break-in period increases the continuous operation time of the engine, which can lead to increased wear on mechanical parts. 4. Avoid changing oil too early: The initial oil in the car is specifically designed for the break-in period, with low viscosity, excellent heat dissipation, cleaning, and antioxidant properties. Some oils even include grinding agents beneficial for the break-in. Thus, oil should be changed according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule, not prematurely. 5. Avoid starting without warming up: It is essential to warm up a new car before starting. Warming up allows sufficient lubrication time for the engine, especially for turbocharged models, which must be warmed up before driving.
