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 1000 km of the
vehicle driving mileage:
-
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 the vehicle driving mileage of 1000 km
~ 1500 km, 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 consumption of the engine can be
improved.
Running-in of tire and brake lining
Within the mileage of 500 km, the new vehicle
shall be driven at a moderate speed for good
running in of new tires.
Within the mileage of 200 km ~ 300 km, the
brake lining does not reach the best friction
state, so the new vehicle shall be driven at a
low speed and emergency braking shall be
avoided as much as possible.
WARNING
● New tires and brake lining without
running-in do not have the best
adhesion and friction. Therefore, it
is necessary to drive carefully within
the first 500 km for good running-in
of tires to prevent accidents.
● T h e n e w b r a k e l i n i n g a f t e r
replacement must also be subject to
run-in in accordance with the above
requirements.
● When driving vehicle, keep a proper
distance from other vehicle to
prevent the occurrence of emergency
braking, as the new tires and brake
lining have not fully run in at this
time. If an emergency braking is
applied, a traffic accident is likely to
occur.
WARNING
● If the brake is damp, frozen or the
vehicle is driven on a salted road, the
braking effect will decrease.
● The brake shall be applied according
to the road and traffic conditions.
Do not depress the brake pedal
unnecessarily, which will overheat
the brake and lead to long braking
distance and excessive brake wear.
● Do not shut down the engine and
allow the vehicle to coast, because
when the brake booster doesn’t work,
the braking distance will increase
greatly, easily causing an accident.
