The first for the Sylphy is recommended at 1,000 kilometers or one month, whichever comes first. The initial 1,000 kilometers are considered the break-in period for the vehicle. During this period, it is advisable to wait until the engine coolant temperature reaches at least 40 degrees Celsius before starting to drive after a cold start. When starting, gently press and slowly release the clutch and accelerator pedal, and choose smooth roads for driving. The primary tasks during the first maintenance include changing the engine oil and oil filter, inspecting the doors and engine hood, checking if the lights are functioning properly, examining tire pressure, performing tire rotation, detecting any abnormalities in the tire pressure monitoring system, conducting wheel alignment and balancing, cleaning and inspecting the windshield and wiper blades, ensuring the throttle pedal operates smoothly, verifying the brake pedal's smooth operation, checking the parking brake operation, inspecting all components of the seat belt system, examining for any changes in steering conditions such as excessive play, heavy steering, or unusual noises, and confirming that all warning lights and buzzers are working correctly.

As a Sylphy owner who just went through the first , I found the 3-month or 5,000-kilometer milestone very important. That day, the 4S shop not only changed the engine oil but also performed over 20 free vehicle inspections. The after-sales manager suggested regular maintenance every six months after the first service, but the exact timing depends on driving conditions. Urban drivers in heavy traffic may need slightly earlier maintenance, while frequent highway drivers can delay it a bit. Remember to bring the purchase invoice and maintenance manual - missing records in the system might affect future warranty claims. After maintenance, I clearly felt the accelerator became more responsive.
