Items needed for the first maintenance include: driver's license; vehicle registration certificate; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle's driving license; vehicle's purchase invoice. Bring these to the designated first maintenance facility for the vehicle's initial service. Important note: Make an appointment with the 4S shop in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial service after the new car has been driven. The specific time varies by car, usually after driving 5,000 kilometers. The car needs to participate in the first maintenance in time, neither in advance nor delayed. The realization of the first maintenance marks the end of the car's break-in period, and it can now be driven according to the standard load and normal speed required by the car. The time for the first maintenance is calculated based on the date of picking up the car. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance time: mileage and time. Whichever comes first is the standard. The first maintenance items include: changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter, checking various oil levels for normality, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for damage, checking tire pressure for normality, and examining the tires for damage or bulges. Required time: It takes about 2 hours to complete all the work. The most important part of the new car's first maintenance is changing the engine oil and oil filter. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The choice of engine oil must refer to the "Vehicle Use and Maintenance Manual," as different models specify different engine oil grades. Maintenance precautions: Do not wash the interior of the car body with water: Many people clean their cars during holidays, washing the body with water and wiping it with a cloth. Here, it is important to remind that the interior of the car body should not be directly washed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, you can use a vacuum cleaner or take them out, brush them with detergent, dry them, and then put them back. There are many holes under the rubber mats on the floor of the driving compartment. If water enters, it will not dry but flow through these holes to the gearbox and other parts, causing erosion and corrosion. The better practice is to clean with a vacuum cleaner and then wipe with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the antifreeze in the car is insufficient, it is recommended to drain the antifreeze and add the same brand of antifreeze from the beginning. Since different brands of antifreeze have different chemical functions, various functional additives may corrode others. Different brands of antifreeze use different additives, so do not mix them to avoid unnecessary trouble. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When the bolts on a moving car rust, they are often oiled to function again. To prevent the bolts and nuts on the wheels from rusting, some people apply lubricating oil to them, but this brings necessary risks to safe driving. When the car is driving at high speed, the bolts and nuts can be easily loosened or even fall off, leading to driving failures. Do not press the accelerator when starting an EFI car: The starter of an EFI car is different from that of a regular car. Its fuel injection control device can automatically adjust the fuel supply based on the starter's temperature and working conditions, making the starter run smoothly.

What Happens If a Car Runs Out of Water and Overheats?

The radiator running out of water can easily lead to engine seizure. The engine is a crucial component for starting a car. Even without a radiator, a car can still start and operate normally. However, during prolonged driving, the engine temperature will continue to rise. Without a radiator, the engine cannot dissipate heat in time, and when the temperature gets too high, the engine may seize. At this point, the engine is essentially no different from being scrapped, and the car can no longer continue to run. The only option is to call a towing company to have the car towed to a repair shop. If the engine is already scrapped and unusable, you may face the situation of needing to replace the engine, which involves significant expenses.

Is it necessary to shift to N gear when having Auto Hold?

Cars equipped with the Auto Hold function do not require shifting to N gear during temporary stops. Auto Hold is essentially an automatic braking feature. When waiting at traffic lights, there is no need to engage the handbrake or electronic parking brake, and consequently, there's no need to change gears. However, in situations of severe traffic congestion where the vehicle remains stationary for extended periods, it is advisable to deactivate the Auto Hold function and switch to manual control by shifting to neutral (N gear). This practice helps protect the transmission and engine, thereby extending their service life. The English term for Auto Hold is 'AutoHold,' and its button is typically marked with a capital letter 'A' or the full English spelling. It relies on an intelligent braking system to function.
