What are the precautions for the first car maintenance?

The first maintenance time has two indicators: mileage and time, whichever comes first; 3. Exceeding the first maintenance date is regarded as automatically giving up the first maintenance right; 4. Call the 4S shop a few days before the maintenance to make an appointment for the maintenance time. The key project of the first car maintenance is to replace the engine oil and oil filter. Since the period before the first maintenance is the running-in period of the vehicle, the gradually running-in engine will continuously mix mechanical impurities such as dust, metal wear, and carbon deposits into the engine oil during operation, so replacing the engine oil and oil filter is crucial. If the debris and impurities produced by the engine are not removed in time, it may cause abnormal damage to the inside of the cylinder.

What is the function of Auto Hold?

Auto Hold refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this feature, there is no need to pull the handbrake when stopping at traffic lights, simplifying the operation by avoiding the use of the handbrake or electronic parking brake. For automatic transmission models, it also eliminates the need for frequent shifting between D gear and N gear or D gear and P gear. The Auto Hold function does not use additional components; it still utilizes the same braking mechanism that executes the brake pedal commands. When the ESP control system detects that the vehicle has come to a complete stop, the electronic parking function is activated, replacing the foot brake. If the vehicle remains stationary for a certain period after the electronic parking is engaged, the control system will automatically activate the electronic parking brake, releasing the Auto Hold function.
