Running-in period
Running-in
At the very beginning of new car
running, a car undergoes more
abrasions inside engine than the
abrasion after the running-in period.
Running-in effect is mainly decided
by the running of first 2,000km.
Note
In order to achieve the best
adhesion property, new tires have
to undergo running-in. Drive your
car stably and properly with great
care on the strip of first 500km.
Similarly, you should run new
brake friction plates in because
the best friction performance will
not emerge in the first 200km.
Under situations without the best
brake effect, please properly
increase brake pedal efforts.
Running-in is also requested
1,000km to 2,010km
Accelerate your car to the highest
running speed or the highest speed
allowable for engine
Following proposals are applicable to
driving during and after running-in
Tips
◎ Please don't drive your car at an
unnecessary high speed. Shifting to
high gear early will not help save
fuel, reduce noise and protect enviro
-nment.
Less than 1,000km
Running-in experience is elaborated
below.
● Don't pedal accelerator till it
contacts floor.
● Keep the running speed less than
80km/h.
● Avoid keeping engine running at
high speed.
● Don't use a new car as a trailer to
drag other vehicles
after brake friction plates are
replaced with new ones.
● Particularly prevent engine running
at high speed under cold condition
regardless of neutral gear or other
gears.
● Don't drive your car at an
excessively lower speed and shift to
a low gear if the engine fails to run
stably.
Driving after running-in period
The highest speed allowable for car
engine is indicated by a red zone on
tachometer. Avoid pointer reaching
this zone and prevent engine from
damages.
