1 Answers
When 'service' appears on a Dongfeng Citroën, it means the vehicle requires maintenance. Manufacturers set up this maintenance reminder function to alert owners to perform scheduled maintenance based on mileage. After maintenance is completed, the service reminder light can only be turned off by following a specific reset procedure. Car maintenance refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of a vehicle, also known as vehicle upkeep. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down deterioration, and extend the service life. A minor service generally refers to the routine maintenance performed at the manufacturer's specified time or mileage to ensure vehicle performance. It mainly includes changing the engine oil and oil filter. The interval for minor services depends on the effective time or mileage of the oil and oil filter used. The validity periods of mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full-synthetic oil vary among different brands and grades.
