What is the recommended speed during the break-in period of a car?
1 Answers
During the initial break-in period (below 500 km), the vehicle speed should not be too fast, maintaining between 60 to 70 km/h with engine RPM not exceeding 2,200. When the mileage reaches approximately 500 to 1,000 km (mid break-in period), the speed can be increased from 60-70 km/h to 90-100 km/h, keeping RPM below 2,500. Throughout the engine break-in period, it's advisable to keep RPM under 2,000. This allows the engine components to wear in smoothly through operation, achieving optimal clearance and extending engine lifespan. Brake break-in: New vehicles have slightly uneven surfaces on brake discs and pads, preventing full contact during braking. Proper break-in helps achieve optimal braking performance and stopping distance.
