A Few Things You Must Know About Your New Car Break-In

In the truck industry, there is a popular saying of "gold three silver four", that is to say, every spring, it is also a time when the demand for car buyers is relatively large. Although this spring is slightly different from previous years, it is still strong. The demand for car purchases will only be late due to the outbreak of the epidemic, but will not be absent.

Whenever a new car is purchased, the first thing that needs to be passed is the break-in period. Generally speaking, the quality of the running-in of a new car is directly related to the fuel consumption of the vehicle in the subsequent operation process, and even the service life of the parts and the whole vehicle. Still, it's very important.

● The running-in of a new car must first control the maximum speed and maximum load

In the initial driving stage of the new car, that is, before 2000 kilometers, it is best to drive on a flat road and within the economical speed range of the engine, so as to help the components in the power chain system to run in each other.

Of course, during the driving process of the vehicle, it is necessary to observe the various fault warning lights on the combination instrument. If they are on, you need to consult the service station and drive safely after the problem is solved.

The purpose of avoiding a full load of a new car is to avoid the excessive load that will cause an excessive burden on the suspension of the vehicle. Generally speaking, when the vehicle first starts to pull goods, the loading quality should not exceed 75 percent of the standard load of the vehicle.

In addition, when the vehicle is just starting to drive, choose to run in on a flat road, which can also avoid the reciprocating load on the body and suspension caused by the bumpy road surface, thereby reducing the damage to the suspension system caused by excessive load.

Truck drivers who buy a new vehicle tend to pay attention to the speed of the vehicle during the break-in period of the new vehicle, while ignoring the requirements of the vehicle load.

● During the running-in period of the new car, attention should be paid to the abnormal noise of the chassis to avoid emergency braking.

Secondly, during the normal driving process of the vehicle, it is necessary to pay attention to the overheating and abnormal noise of the vehicle chassis, and at the same time, to avoid the occurrence of emergency braking.

Because emergency braking will not only cause a strong impact on the braking system during running-in, but also increase the impact load of the engine and chassis, so in the initial stage of the vehicle, try to use pre-braking to stop the vehicle.

In fact, if only for the braking system, for example, the friction components such as brake pads and brake drums, generally hundreds of kilometers are enough, but these components are not very demanding.

When the new car is driving, it is necessary to pay attention to abnormal noise and heating, in order to avoid the expansion of small faults.

The author has encountered such a case, a new car that has just driven more than 2,000 kilometers, the phenomenon of the rear axle gear smashing occurs, which eventually directly leads to the damage of the vehicle reducer and the breakdown of the axle housing. After inquiries, it turned out to be caused by excessive oil leakage from the oil seal.

Although the car manufacturer finally replaced the new rear axle assembly, it also delayed the delivery time for more than ten days in vain.

● Finally, check the vehicle after the first insurance

When the driving reaches 5000 kilometers, for the commonly used models (that is, the models that do not have a long oil change), the mileage of the first insurance has been reached. At this time, the running-in period will be passed safely.

When doing the first insurance, in addition to replacing the necessary oil, water and filter element, it is best to check whether there is a problem of loose bolts. If it occurs, it is best to solve it together.

In fact, the running-in of a vehicle is not only at the stage of purchasing a new car. When the vehicle has replaced key components (such as four sets or clutch pressure plate system) or large assembly components (gearbox or sedan), it also takes a period of time to drive. Run in a bit, this will also be more conducive to safe driving.

The main function of the new car run-in is to ensure that the various parts in the car can fully contact and friction, so as to ensure that the vehicle can adapt to various road conditions and operate efficiently.

For old drivers, the running-in of a new car is relatively simple, but it is not what some novices think, just simply change the oil and water. I hope the above sharing will be useful to you!
