When is the best time to take a new car on the highway?

[DelLandon]

New cars should avoid high-speed driving, long-distance driving, and fully loaded driving. During the break-in period of a new car, the following points should be noted: 1. The first 500 kilometers are the initial break-in period, during which the speed should not be too high. Generally, it is best to stay below 70-80 km/h, with the engine speed not exceeding 2200 rpm. 2. From 500 to 1000 kilometers is the mid-term break-in period, during which the maximum speed can be appropriately increased. Generally, it can reach 90-100 km/h, with the engine speed still best kept below 2500 rpm. Appropriately increasing speed will not affect the engine but can promote the break-in process and help identify any abnormalities during acceleration. 3. From 1000 to 1500 kilometers is the late break-in period, during which the speed can be increased to below 120 km/h. Since the break-in is a gradual process, it must be done step by step. The engine speed should not exceed 3000 rpm.
