Driving During Run-In Period
To ensure the service life of the vehicle, a run-in
period is needed in the early stages after the vehicle
is put into use. Only after the run-in period has
completed can the vehicle be put into normal use.
Provisions on the Run-In Period:
● Choose a better road and drive at reduced load
and limited speed.
● Do not drive at full throttle or rapid acceleration.
● Avoid emergency brake.
● Strictly follow the operating procedures and keep
the engine at the normal operating temperature.
Before regular maintenance, do NOT replace the
engine oil.
● Carefully carry out the routine maintenance of the
vehicle, check and tighten the external bolts and
nut frequently, pay attention to the sound and
temperature changes of the assemblies during
operation, and adjust them in time.
Running-in for the engine
The new engine must be subject to a running-in of
1500km.
Within the first 160 km, the speed shall be lower than
80 km/h, and within the first 800 km, the speed shall
be lower than 90 km/h.
During the running-in period, the following items
shall be observed:
● After the cold vehicle starts, run the engine for 15
s before start.
● During the initial driving period, it is necessary to
avoid driving for a long time at full throttle or at
the maximum speed. It is also necessary to avoid
driving under the same speed or driving at the
same speed for a long time or running at a high
idle speed for a long time.
● It is generally not necessary to adjust the engine
during the initial drive.
● Unless the load is very heavy, it is not necessary
to replace the engine oil or engine oil filter before
the specified first service cycle.
● Antifriction additives shall not be added to the
engine oil during the initial driving, as these
additives will affect the running-in of the piston
ring.
In the early period of wearing in, the inner frictional
resistance of the engine is much bigger than after the
wearing-in. Only after wearing it in can all the
moving parts of the engine reach the best coordinated
state.
After wearing it in according to the above
requirements, the engine will have both a prolonged
service life and reduced fuel consumption.
Running-in tires and brake pad
Within the first 500 km, drive at a moderate speed and
for good running-in new tires.
If the new brake pads cannot reach the optimum
friction state within the first 200 km, careful running-
in shall be conducted.
