New Car Break-in Period
I'm buying a 2018 Toyota Camry SE in a few days, and I have a question about the break-in procedure. In the owner's manual it states the following:
-- Breaking in your new Toyota -- To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recommended: ● For the first 186 miles (300 km): Avoid sudden stops. ● For the first 621 miles (1000 km): • Do not drive at extremely high speeds. • Avoid sudden acceleration. • Do not drive continuously in low gears. • Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods. This might sound like a dumb question but... what exactly constitutes an "extended period"? One minute? Five minutes? Ten minutes? I have no problem with letting up on the gas pedal after a pre-determined time period, in order to keep the speed variable and make sure I'm not driving at a constant speed. I'd just like to know what that time period should be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
