Driving during Running-in Period
To ensure your car’s service life, you have to run
it in at the initial stage before putting it into normal
use. When your car is in running-in period, please
observe the following requirements:
●
The mileage of running-in period is 1500 km.
●
Drive on good roads under reduced load at
limited speed.
●
Avoid full-accelerator starting or rapid
acceleration.
●
Avoid emergency braking for the first 300 km.
●
Strictly follow the operating instructions and
keep the normal operating temperature of the
engine. Do not change the engine oil before
the regular maintenance.
●
Carefully do routine maintenance; frequently
check and fasten the external bolts and nuts;
pay attention to the changes of sounds and
temperature of each assembly during
running, and adjust timely.
Running-in of the Engine
You have to run a new engine in for 1500 km.
Within 1000 km of traveling mileage of the car:
●
The car speed shall not exceed 3/4 of the
maximum speed.
●
Avoid full-accelerator driving.
●
Avoid high engine speed.
●
Do not tow a trailer.
When the traveling mileage is within 1000 km-
1500 km, the engine speed and car speed can be
gradually increased to the maximum allowable
range.
At the early stage of running-in period, the internal
frictional resistance of the engine is much greater
than that after the running- in. All the moving
components of the engine coordinate well only
after running in.
Full running-in of the engine can increase the
service life and reduce fuel consumption.
Running-in of Tires and Braking Pads
Drive at moderate speed within the first 500 km to
properly run the new tires in.
Within the first 200 km ~ 300 km of traveling
mileage, the new braking pad cannot realize the
optimal friction status, so that drive at medium or
low speed and avoid emergency braking as much
as possible.
