What is the recommended speed during a new car's break-in period?
1 Answers
New car break-in period speeds vary depending on the stage: 1. During the initial break-in phase, maintain speeds between 60-70 km/h with engine RPM not exceeding 2200; 2. In the mid-phase, speeds can increase to 90-100 km/h while keeping RPM below 2500; 3. In the later phase, speeds may reach up to 120 km/h with RPM not exceeding 3000. The break-in period refers to the initial driving distance after a new car leaves the factory, allowing engine components to properly wear in. Key precautions during break-in include: 1. Maintain smooth acceleration, avoid sudden throttle inputs and excessive engine RPM; 2. Ensure coolant temperature reaches at least 50°C before starting, and begin in low gear.
