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.

What is the difference between Chevron Techron 295 and 355?

Chevron Techron 295 and 355 mainly differ in that Chevron 355 offers better performance and configuration, serving as an upgraded version of Chevron 295. Purpose of Chevron Techron Gasoline: Chevron Techron gasoline additive is a cleaning fuel additive used when vehicles experience issues such as poor fuel supply, engine shaking, unstable idle, increased fuel consumption, or poor acceleration caused by engine carbon deposits. Carbon Cleaning Cycle: Cleaning carbon deposits requires a process, typically involving the continuous use of 3-5 bottles before noticeable effects can be felt. Using only one bottle may not completely remove carbon deposits, leading consumers to perceive limited effectiveness. If fuel additives are not used, carbon deposits will accumulate again inside the car engine.

The exact location varies depending on the vehicle model. Functions of car air conditioning: 1. Achieves cooling effect through continuous phase-change circulation of refrigerant; 2. Removes dust, odors, smoke, and toxic gases from the cabin air, keeping it fresh, while also humidifying to increase relative humidity. Maintenance methods for car air conditioning: 1. Avoid setting temperature too low; 2. Adjust vent direction properly; 3. Avoid prolonged continuous use; 4. Periodically operate at high fan speed; 5. Turn off AC during low-speed driving.
