What documents are required for the first maintenance of a new car?

[VonMiranda]

Items required for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle registration certificate; vehicle 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, but it is generally after driving 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. It is essential to attend the first maintenance on time—neither early nor late. The completion of the first maintenance marks the end of the car's break-in period, allowing it to be driven under standard load and normal speed as required by the vehicle. The first maintenance time is calculated based on the car pick-up date. There are two indicators for the first maintenance: mileage and time. Whichever comes first will be the standard. The first maintenance items 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 looking for tire damage or bulges. Estimated time: Approximately 2 hours to complete all tasks. The most critical part of the first maintenance for a new car is 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 User and Maintenance Manual," as different car 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. Here, it's important to note that the car's interior should not be directly rinsed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, use a vacuum cleaner or remove them, scrub with a brush and detergent, dry them, and then put them back. The rubber mats in the driver's floor have many drainage holes underneath. If water gets in, it won't dry naturally but will flow through these holes to areas like the gearbox, causing corrosion. The best practice is to clean with a vacuum cleaner and then wipe with a cloth to avoid water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the car's antifreeze is low, it is recommended to drain the existing antifreeze and refill it with the same brand from the start. Different brands of antifreeze have varying chemical properties, and the corrosion inhibitors in one brand may react negatively with those in another. Mixing different brands can lead to unnecessary issues. Do not lubricate wheel bolts and nuts: When bolts on a moving car rust, some people apply oil to make them functional again. To prevent rust on wheel bolts and nuts, some apply lubricant, but this can pose a safety risk. At high speeds, lubricated bolts and nuts may loosen or even fall off, leading to driving hazards. Do not press the accelerator when starting an EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) car: The starting mechanism of EFI cars differs from conventional cars. The fuel injection control system automatically adjusts the fuel supply based on the engine's temperature and operating conditions, ensuring a smooth start.
