What documents are needed for the first car maintenance?
1 Answers
Documents required for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; vehicle registration certificate; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle license; vehicle purchase invoice. Bring these to the designated first maintenance facility for the service. Important note: Make an appointment with the 4S store in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial service after a new car is driven. The specific timing varies by vehicle, typically after driving 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. It's crucial to attend the first maintenance on time—neither early nor late. Completing the first maintenance indicates that the car's break-in period has ended, and the vehicle can now be driven under standard load and normal speed as required. The first maintenance time is calculated from the date of vehicle pickup. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance: mileage and time. Whichever comes first will be the standard. First maintenance services include: oil change, oil filter replacement, air filter cleaning, checking various fluid levels, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for damage, checking tire pressure, and examining tires for damage or bulges. Time required: Approximately 2 hours to complete all tasks. The most critical aspects of the first maintenance are the oil and oil filter replacement. When changing the oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The choice of oil must refer to the "Vehicle Usage and Maintenance Manual," as different models require different oil specifications. Maintenance precautions: Do not rinse the interior of the car with water: Many people clean their cars during holidays, using water to wash the body and wiping it with a cloth. It's important to note that the interior should not be directly washed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, use a vacuum cleaner or remove them to scrub with a brush and detergent, then dry before replacing. The rubber mats on the driver's floor have many holes beneath them. If water enters, it won't dry but will flow through these holes to corrode parts like the gearbox. The best practice is to vacuum clean and then wipe with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the antifreeze level is low, it's recommended to drain the existing antifreeze and refill with the same brand. Different brands of antifreeze have varying chemical properties, and mixing them can cause corrosion due to incompatible inhibitors. Avoid mixing brands to prevent unnecessary issues. Do not lubricate wheel bolts and nuts: When bolts on a moving car rust, some may oil them to restore functionality. However, applying lubricant to wheel bolts and nuts can pose safety risks. At high speeds, bolts and nuts may loosen or even fall off, leading to driving hazards. Do not press the accelerator when starting an EFI car: The starter of an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) car differs from conventional vehicles. Its fuel injection control system can automatically adjust fuel supply based on the starter's temperature and operating conditions, ensuring a smooth start.
