What should be paid attention to during the break-in period of a car?

Precautions for the break-in period of a new car: 1. The speed should not exceed two-thirds of the maximum speed, the engine RPM should not exceed 3000-3500 (different car manufacturers have different requirements for engine RPM), avoid sudden acceleration and sudden braking. 2. Do not overload, pay attention to checking tire pressure, coolant, and brake fluid. 3. When driving downhill for a long distance, pay attention to controlling the speed and avoid suddenly using engine resistance to decelerate. For manual transmission models, gear shifts should be anticipated in advance, and shifting should not be done at inappropriate speeds. Introduction to the break-in period: 1. Generally, the break-in period for a new car is around 1000-1500 kilometers, and different manufacturers may have different regulations for different models. 2. During the break-in period, tires and brake pads have the shortest break-in time, usually around the first 200-300 kilometers. During this time, try to drive on roads with better conditions. Since new tires have not yet reached optimal adhesion, avoid sudden braking during sharp turns and brake in advance. 3. The engine break-in period requires about 1000 kilometers. In the first 500 kilometers, it is best to drive at a speed of 60-70 km/h, with the RPM not exceeding 2200 for optimal performance; between 500-1000 kilometers, the speed can be increased to 90-100 km/h, with the RPM below 2500 for the best results, which can promote the break-in process; after 1000 kilometers, the speed can be increased to below 120 km/h, and the RPM should not exceed 3000.
