What documents are required for the first maintenance?

[LaNolan]

First maintenance requires documents such as the driver's license, maintenance manual, and warranty manual. Current vehicle models are covered by nationwide warranty, allowing free first maintenance at any 4S shop across the country. First maintenance refers to the initial service after a new car has been driven, and the timing varies by vehicle, typically after driving 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. Purpose of first maintenance: Ensure the vehicle's optimal performance state; enhance driving safety; reduce engine noise; extend the vehicle's service life. Contents of first maintenance: Replace engine oil and oil filter; inspect the operation of the braking system, such as the gap and wear of brake pads and discs; check the bolts of various systems; inspect and adjust drive belts; check and adjust tire balance and alignment; inspect and replenish various fluids; check the operation of components such as lights, battery, and shock absorbers. Points to note for first maintenance: Be sure to grasp the optimal timing for first maintenance, which is usually specified in the user manual; understand the required first maintenance items; changes in the car after first maintenance; call ahead to schedule the first maintenance appointment.

Don't forget to bring three essential items for your first maintenance: the maintenance manual, vehicle registration certificate, and ID card. The maintenance card inside the manual is most important as service advisors need to scan it for registration. It's best to make an appointment in advance and provide the last six digits of your VIN to save half an hour of queuing time at the dealership. I made the silly mistake of forgetting the manual during my first maintenance visit and had to make a wasted trip. Also, while engine oil and filter changes are free, I recommend getting your tire pressure and chassis bolts checked while you're there – the car's been sitting for over four months since leaving the factory, and some bolts might have loosened. If any warning lights are on, remember to take photos to show the technician.

Last time accompanying my bestie for her first maintenance really confused us both! Remember to bring the original vehicle license, as the 4S dealership needs to take photos for their system. That first maintenance voucher tucked in the service booklet must be kept safe—losing it means paying for the oil change yourself. It's always good to bring all the manuals stuffed randomly in your glove compartment; last time the technician even checked the environmental list to verify the engine model. I recommend taking a photo of your odometer before heading out, then cross-checking after maintenance. What beginners most often forget is noting the oil level—some brands require owner confirmation and signature before draining the oil.

You don't actually need to bring that much for the first maintenance: The red maintenance manual is a must, and don't lose the first maintenance voucher inside. A copy of the vehicle license will also work, as everything is now registered via system photos. In my over ten years in this line of work, I've seen too many people forget the manual and make a wasted trip. If you've installed accessories like a dash cam, let the technician know in advance to avoid wasting time on removal. It's recommended to inflate your tires to 2.5 bar before heading out, as new cars often have higher tire pressure.
