What is the recommended speed for running in a new car?
1 Answers
It is generally recommended to keep the speed below 80 during the break-in period. Here are some precautions regarding the break-in period: 1. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during break-in but also increases the load on the chassis and engine. It is best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers. 2. Avoid overloading: Running a new car at full capacity during the break-in period can cause damage to the components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers, the load should generally not exceed 75%-80% of the rated capacity. 3. High-speed driving: Long-distance driving during the break-in period increases the continuous working time of the engine, which can lead to component wear. It is recommended to maintain a speed of 120 km/h with the engine speed not exceeding 3,000 RPM. If the speed exceeds 3,000 RPM, consider reducing the speed to keep it within 3,000 RPM. During long-distance driving, take breaks at service areas for about ten minutes.
