5. Driving Directions
5.7.2 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 vehicle is in running-in
period, please observe the following requirements:
– The mileage of running-in period is 1,500 km.
– Drive on good roads under reduced load at
limited speed.
– Avoid full-accelerator starting or rapid
acceleration.
– Avoid emergency braking for the first 300km.
– 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 1500km.
Within 1000km of traveling mileage of the vehicle:
– The 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 1000km-
1500 km, the engine speed and 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 the new vehicle at a moderate speed for the
first 500 km of the mileage to properly run the new
tires in.
Drive the new vehicle at a moderate or low speed
and avoid emergency braking as much as possible
within the first 200-300 km of the mileage as the
new braking pad cannot realize the optimal friction
status.
