The items required 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, to be taken to the designated first maintenance institution for the vehicle's first maintenance. The precautions are: make an appointment with the 4S store in advance. The first maintenance refers to the first maintenance after the new car is driven, and the specific time varies from car to car, generally after driving 1000 to 3000 kilometers. The car needs to participate in the first maintenance in time, neither in advance nor delayed. The realization of the first maintenance marks that the running-in period of the car is now over, and it can be driven according to the standard load and normal speed required by the car. The time of the first car insurance is calculated according to 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: oil change, oil filter replacement, air filter cleaning, checking whether various oil levels are normal, checking whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged, checking whether the tire pressure is normal, checking whether the tires are damaged, bulging, etc. Necessary time: It takes about 2 hours to complete all the work. The most important thing for the first maintenance of a new car is to change the oil and oil filter. When changing the oil, the oil filter must be replaced together. When choosing the oil, you must refer to the "Vehicle Use and Maintenance Manual", as different vehicle models have different oil specifications. Maintenance precautions: Do not rinse the interior of the car body with water: Many people will tidy up and clean the car by themselves during holidays, rinsing the body with water and scrubbing with a cloth. Here, it is necessary to remind that the interior of the car body does not need to be directly rinsed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, you can use a vacuum cleaner, or take them out, brush and wash them with detergent, dry them, and then put them back. There are many through holes in the grooves under the rubber mats on the floor of the cab. After water enters, it will not dry by wind, but will flow through the through holes to parts such as the gearbox for erosion and corrosion. A good practice is to clean with a vacuum cleaner and then scrub with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the antifreeze in the car is in short supply, it is recommended that you drain the antifreeze as soon as possible and add the same brand of antifreeze from the beginning. Because the brands of antifreeze are different, their chemical functions are also very different. Various functional preservatives will corrode other functional preservatives. Different brands of antifreeze use different preservatives. Do not mix them to avoid unnecessary trouble. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When the bolts of a running car are rusty, they are usually oiled so that they can work normally again. In order to prevent the bolts and nuts on the wheels from rusting, some people apply lubricating oil to the bolts and nuts, but this brings necessary risks to safe driving. When the car is running at high speed, the bolts and nuts are simply lifted or even dropped, causing driving failure. When promoting the EFI car, do not step on the accelerator: The promoter of the EFI car is different from that of ordinary cars. Its fuel injection control device can actively adjust the fuel supply according to the temperature and working conditions of the promoter, making the promoter promote smoothly.

What is the original tire model for the 2012 New Focus?

The 2012 New Focus tires were switched from Goodyear to Michelin. The hatchback Focus specifications were upgraded from 205/55-R16 to 215/50-R17, while the sedan Focus was changed to 205/60-R16. The front and rear track of the 2012 New Focus are 1553mm and 1544mm respectively, an increase of 18mm and 11mm compared to the current model's 1535mm front track and 1531mm rear track. Theoretically, the longer wheelbase of the new car means the vehicle will be more stable while driving. Relevant information about the New Focus is as follows: 1. Assurance Fuel Max: The Goodyear Assurance-Fuel-Max used in the New Focus is called 'An Jie Lun' in Chinese, and its characteristics are just as the name suggests—safe and energy-saving. This tire is stronger in terms of durability and impact resistance compared to ordinary quiet or comfort-oriented tires. Additionally, according to the official website, this tire can bring about a 4% fuel saving. The basic version of the classic Focus appears quite modest in terms of the use of rims and tires, with unattractive plastic hubcaps that completely detract from the Focus's sporty character. The accompanying Kumho KH18 is the most common 'comfort-oriented' matching tire. 2. Exterior: The rear of the car and the rims are areas that reflect the different positioning of the two models. The sedan version's rear has completely lost the passion of the front face, replaced by a harmonious and moderate design.

What does the exclamation mark on the Focus dashboard mean?

The dashboard displays an exclamation mark. If this indicator only appears during vehicle self-check, it can be ignored. However, if it persists, you should promptly exit the vehicle for inspection. The warning light could indicate issues with tire pressure, transmission failure, windshield wiper malfunction, lighting system fault, steering system failure, braking system problem, or gearbox malfunction. When an exclamation mark warning light appears on the dashboard, it typically signals an abnormality or fault in the corresponding component. Drivers should not overlook this and should identify the source of the problem as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Here's relevant information about the new-generation Changan Ford Focus: 1. Configuration: As the fourth-generation model of the Focus family, the new Changan Ford Focus not only inherits and optimizes the driving experience of its predecessors but also enhances its fashionable and sporty appearance. Standard features include front/rear center armrests, rear cup holders, hill start assist, multifunction steering wheel, automatic headlights, power-adjustable mirrors, heated exterior mirrors, and engine start-stop technology. Optional tech features include wireless phone charging, automatic parking, and ACC full-speed adaptive cruise control. 2. Powertrain: The new Focus offers four engine options: 1.5L, 1.0T, 1.5T, and 1.6L. The 1.5T and 1.0T models use three-cylinder engines from Ford's EcoBoost series, which combines variable valve timing, turbocharging, and direct fuel injection technologies. Notably, with its exclusive 8AT transmission in its class, the new Focus delivers exceptionally smooth acceleration and rapid gear shifts.

Does dark engine oil need immediate replacement?

Dark engine oil does not require immediate replacement. Whether the oil needs to be changed depends on the mileage: engine oil should be replaced when the vehicle has traveled between 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. The reasons for engine oil turning black are: 1. Excessive carbon deposits in the engine; 2. Incomplete drainage of old oil during oil change. The functions of engine oil include: 1. Reducing friction and high temperatures; 2. Minimizing gas leakage and preventing contamination from external pollutants; 3. Protecting components from contact with water, air, and acidic harmful gases; 4. Cushioning the pressure rise in the engine cylinder ports; 5. Flushing away dirt generated on the working surfaces of components.
