5. Driving guide
Engine running-in
The mileage in the running-in period of a new
engine shall be 1500km. Do not perform the
following operations within the first 1000km of
driving:
- Keep the vehicle speed no more than 3/4
of the maximum allowable speed.
- Do not drive the vehicle with full throttle.
- Avoid running the engine at high speed.
- Do not tow any trailer.
Within 1000km-1500km, it is allowed to
increase the engine & vehicle speeds gradually
to the maximum allowable range.
The internal frictional resistance of the engine
at the beginning of running-in is much greater
than that after running-in, and all the moving
parts of the engine can have the best fitting
after running-in.
After fully running in, both the service life
and the fuel efficiency of the engine can be
improved.
Running-in of tire and brake lining
Within the first 500km of driving, drive the
vehicle at a moderate speed to get the new
tires run in fully.
Within the first 200km-300km of driving, the
brake linings have not reach the optimal friction
condition, so please drive at a low speed and
avoid emergency braking as much as possible.
WARNING
● New tires and brake linings without
running-in do not have the best
adhesion and friction. Therefore,
drive the vehicle cautiously within
the first 500km to get the tires fully
run in to prevent accidents.
● Newly replaced brake lining shall
be run in according to the above
requirements as well.
● During driving, keep an appropriate
distance from other vehicles to
prevent emergency braking, as the
new tires and brake linings have not
been fully run in at this time and if
an emergency braking is applied, a
traffic accident is likely to occur.
WARNING
● If the brake is damp, frozen or the
vehicle runs on a salted road, the
braking effect will be reduced.
● During driving downhill, the brake is
under large working load and liable
to overheat. Before driving downhill,
It is recommended to shift the vehicle
into low gear to reduce the vehicle
speed, make full use of the braking
effect of the engine, and reduce the
brake load.
● The brake shall be applied according
to the road and traffic conditions.
Do not step on the brake pedal
unnecessarily to overheat the brake,
resulting in too long braking distance
and excessive brake wear.
● Do not coast the vehicle with the
engine shut down. As the brake
booster does not work, the braking
distance will be greatly increased,
which is liable to cause accidents.
