The first maintenance is recommended at 5,000 kilometers or six months, whichever comes first. As long as the vehicle is serviced within 5,000 kilometers, it meets the requirement. If there are special instructions in the vehicle's manual, follow the time specified in the manual. The key tasks of the first maintenance include changing the engine oil and oil filter, along with a comprehensive vehicle system inspection, such as tightening nuts, checking the chassis, tire inspection, and system computer diagnostics. The primary focus on changing the engine oil and oil filter during the first maintenance is due to the break-in period before the first service. During this period, the gradually breaking-in engine introduces mechanical impurities like dust, metal wear, and carbon deposits into the oil. This is also why high-speed driving is not recommended during the break-in period, as the oil contains too many impurities, which can lead to abnormal engine wear if driven at high speeds.

What Causes the Engine Malfunction Light to Flash Frequently?

Engine malfunction light flashing continuously is an abnormal phenomenon. The details are as follows: 1. When a vehicle malfunctions, these faults generate a series of codes. After the onboard computer reads the fault codes, they will appear as indicator lights on the dashboard. 2. If the engine malfunction light on the dashboard flashes when starting the car, it is a reminder to the driver that there is a fault in the engine, to drive cautiously, and to pay attention to maintenance. The engine malfunction light turning on and then off is a normal phenomenon: 1. When the driver turns on the vehicle's power but has not officially started the engine, various malfunction indicator lights on the car will light up simultaneously. 2. When the vehicle is started, these lights will automatically turn off, which is the vehicle's self-detection function in operation and is a normal phenomenon.

What does a range-extended electric vehicle mean?

Range-extended electric vehicles refer to vehicles directly driven by electric motors, where the engine does not participate in driving and there are no mechanical devices such as clutches or transmissions. The detailed information about range-extended electric vehicles is as follows: 1. When the battery power is insufficient, the engine is used to generate electricity to charge the battery, operating within the optimal speed range, and the battery then provides energy to the motor that directly drives the vehicle. 2. Advantages of range-extended electric vehicles: (1) They can operate in pure electric mode, requiring a small battery capacity, eliminating the risk of running out of power; (2) The battery charging power is small, eliminating the need for large charging infrastructure; (3) They can operate in plug-in hybrid mode, further improving fuel efficiency on top of hybrid technology; (4) They have a simple structure, direct motor drive, are easy to maintain, and facilitate industrialization.
