Car break-in period refers to the initial driving phase of a new vehicle or after a major overhaul, typically ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers. This is the fundamental mileage required to ensure proper contact, friction, adaptation, and stabilization of mechanical components. Below is relevant information about the break-in period: 1. Concept: The break-in period generally refers to the process where mechanical parts make initial contact, experience friction, and gradually fit together during early operation. 2. Precautions: Avoid emergency braking whenever possible: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during break-in but also increases impact loads on the chassis and engine. It's best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. Avoid overloading: Operating a new vehicle at full capacity during the break-in period may damage components. Therefore, during the first 1,000 kilometers, the load should generally not exceed 75%-80% of the rated capacity.

What are the symptoms of a faulty clutch switch?

The symptoms of a faulty clutch switch are: increased fuel consumption, jerky acceleration, impact during deceleration, and failure to move when accelerating. The function of the clutch: It ensures that between the engine crankshaft and the transmission device, the engine power output can be transmitted or cut off according to the needs of the vehicle, allowing the car to start smoothly, facilitating gear shifting, and preventing overload of the transmission system. The structure and working principle of the clutch: The commonly used type is mostly the dry friction plate type, mainly composed of four parts: the driving part, the driven part, the pressing mechanism, and the control mechanism. Among them, the engine flywheel is the driving part of the clutch, and the hub of the driven plate with friction plates is connected to the driven shaft (i.e., the first shaft of the gearbox) through axial splines.

How are automotive engines generally classified?

Classification of automotive engines: 1. Classification by piston movement: Piston internal combustion engines can be divided into reciprocating piston type and rotary piston type. The former moves in a reciprocating linear motion within the cylinder, while the latter rotates within the cylinder; 2. Classification by intake system: Internal combustion engines can be divided into naturally aspirated (non-turbocharged) engines and forced induction (turbocharged) engines based on whether the intake system uses turbocharging; 3. Classification by cylinder arrangement: Internal combustion engines can be classified into single-row, double-row, and triple-row types based on different cylinder arrangements. In single-row engines, all cylinders are arranged in a single row, usually vertically, but sometimes tilted or even horizontally to reduce height. Double-row engines arrange the cylinders in two rows with an angle between them.
