During the break-in period of a new car, the speed should generally be maintained between 30-90 km/h, and the engine RPM is best kept between 2,000-2,500, not exceeding 3,000 RPM. Controlling the engine RPM is more critical during the break-in period. Here are some additional details: 1. Generally, the break-in period is divided into three stages: initial, middle, and late. During the initial stage, the maximum speed should be kept around 40 km/h; in the middle stage, on roads with good conditions, the maximum speed can be increased to 60 km/h; by the late stage, it can be raised to around 80 km/h. Maintaining a moderate speed during the break-in period is essential—speed should not be too high or too low, as excessively low speed can increase fuel consumption. 2. Speed limits are essentially limits on engine RPM. During the break-in period, it is crucial to control driving speed and avoid excessively high speeds. After driving 1,500 km, you can gradually increase the RPM and speed to the vehicle's maximum allowed speed, but avoid pressing the accelerator too hard to ensure that pistons, cylinders, and other important components increase their load in a gentle state.

Is the Dry Dual Clutch Unsuitable for Wading?

Dry dual-clutch transmissions are not suitable for wading because when the water level in the wading area exceeds the midline of the wheels, water can immediately enter the dual-clutch system, causing severe malfunctions. The function of the dry dual-clutch is to ensure smooth vehicle starting, reduce the impact load on the transmission gears during gear shifting, and prevent the drivetrain from overloading. It is a transmission mechanism that can both transmit and cut off power. The clutch plates of the dry dual-clutch directly contact the engine flywheel, with air serving as the connecting medium. The working principle of the dry dual-clutch is that one clutch corresponds to odd-numbered gears, while the other corresponds to even-numbered gears. When the vehicle engages one gear, the other clutch and the corresponding next gear are already in a ready state, allowing the next gear to engage immediately once the current gear is disengaged.

What does 165/70r13 tire mean?

165/70r13 is a tire specification model, where 165 represents the tire section width in millimeters, 70 indicates the aspect ratio (the percentage of tire thickness to width being 70%), r denotes that the tire has a radial structure, and 13 is the outer diameter of the tire in inches. The impact of tire specifications on a vehicle: 1. Tire width: Affects traction; wider tires generally provide better traction, which is also related to the tire's material composition. Softer materials typically offer stronger traction but reduced durability. Tire width also affects resistance; wider tires increase resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption and slower acceleration. 2. Tread height: Primarily influences shock absorption efficiency and handling feel. 3. Tire thickness: Thicker tires absorb shocks better, filtering out minor vibrations more effectively, while thinner tires provide less vibration filtration, resulting in more direct vibrations. However, thicker tires can make handling less responsive and reduce steering precision.
