What is required for the first maintenance of the Roewe i5?
3 Answers
The first maintenance of the Roewe i5 requires a driver's license, maintenance manual, and warranty manual. During the first maintenance, the 4S shop will register the vehicle's information, such as the chassis number and VIN, into the computer system. This allows all brand 4S shops nationwide to access the information, ensuring nationwide warranty coverage. The Roewe i5 is a compact sedan under the Roewe brand, with a wheelbase of 2680 mm, and dimensions of 4601 mm in length, 1818 mm in width, and 1489 mm in height. The Roewe i5 is equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine.
I've been driving the Roewe i5 for several years, and the first maintenance is quite straightforward. Remember, the first maintenance is usually done within 5,000 kilometers or six months after picking up the car—don't miss the free period. The main things you'll need are your owner's manual and vehicle documents, and bring your ID card just in case. When you get to the 4S shop, they'll change the engine oil and oil filter for free, and also check the tire pressure, brake system, lights, etc., to make sure everything is normal. Other things like the air filter and chassis screws will also be tightened. The whole process takes about 40 minutes, and you can just wait in the lounge. Don't be fooled into paying for extra services during the first maintenance—the free package is usually enough. After the maintenance, the car will run smoother, especially with reduced engine noise after the break-in period. Regular maintenance on time can extend the car's lifespan. I always set a reminder on my phone calendar—it saves both hassle and money.
As a budget-conscious car owner, there are a few things you need to prepare for the Roewe i5's first maintenance: the vehicle registration certificate, purchase invoice, and owner's manual, which prove eligibility for free first maintenance. The first maintenance should be done at around 5,000 kilometers or six months—don't delay, or you might be charged. Key checks include an oil change—Roewe's original oil is sufficient, no need to pay for an upgrade; replace the oil filter, and free brake and light tests are also included. I recommend avoiding additional services like air conditioning cleaning—it's a trap. The entire process takes about an hour, and after completion, the vehicle's performance will be more stable, and fuel consumption may decrease slightly. If you've just bought the car, remember to go to an authorized 4S shop, not a roadside stall, to avoid wasting money and affecting the warranty period. Regular maintenance can prevent major issues and save a lot on repair costs in the long run.
