The first items for the Envision include: 1. Changing the engine oil and oil filter; 2. Inspecting the operation of the braking system, such as the gap and wear of brake pads and discs; 3. Checking the bolts of various systems; 4. Inspecting and adjusting the drive belt; 5. Inspecting and adjusting tire balance and alignment; 6. Checking and replenishing various fluids; 7. Inspecting the operation of components such as lights, battery, and shock absorbers. The Envision is positioned as a midsize SUV. In terms of appearance, the Buick Envision features a newly designed intelligent drag-reducing grille, aluminum roof rails, newly styled chrome dual exhaust pipes, 19-inch multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, and a multi-function exterior rearview mirror. Regarding body dimensions, the Envision measures 4686mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1660mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm.

I just took my newly purchased Envision for its first at around 5,000 kilometers to the 4S dealership. The service items were quite straightforward, mainly consisting of an oil change and oil filter replacement—these are the essential core procedures since metal particles can accumulate in the oil after the break-in period of a new car, and replacing them helps protect the engine's lifespan. The technician also checked the tire pressure, adjusted it to the standard value, inspected the brake pad wear and fluid levels to ensure braking safety. Additionally, they examined various components under the chassis and tightened screws to prevent loosening during long-distance drives. The lights and horn were tested as well to avoid any unexpected issues. Finally, they cleaned the air filter for free and reminded me to schedule regular maintenance. The whole process took about an hour, which I found quite worthwhile—it helps maintain the car's stable performance and boosts confidence when driving on highways. Remember to bring your purchase manual to cross-check the service checklist and avoid missing any items.

From my experience, the first service for the Envision focuses on basic inspections. First, the engine oil and oil filter are replaced, and any debris inside the engine is cleaned. Next, the tire pressure is checked for uniformity and wear, along with the brake system, including the brake fluid level. Functional tests for lights and wipers are standard procedures, with any issues repaired promptly. The undercarriage is also inspected for suspension and bolt tightness to ensure smooth driving. Finally, fluid levels like coolant are topped up, with adjustments or replacements made if necessary. I recommend that car owners not delay the first service—changing the oil in the first few thousand kilometers is crucial to prevent engine damage. The entire process is done efficiently and free of charge at the 4S dealership, making it ideal for busy individuals. Asking the technicians questions can also teach you daily maintenance tips, such as how to self-check tire conditions.

My Envision just had its first service after a few months of driving. The main items were changing the engine oil and oil filter, checking tire pressure and wear, inspecting brake fluid levels, lights, and other basic functions. They briefly examined the chassis and suspension, adjusting tightness. If everything goes smoothly, it takes about half an hour. I think it's important not to skip the first service – changing the oil is good for a new engine. Keep records in the manual. This way, you can drive with more peace of mind later on.

Focusing on safety and prevention, during the first of the Envision, I prioritized oil change, tire pressure balance check, brake system integrity, and chassis tightening. These items may seem minor but can prevent potential risks like high-speed tire blowouts or brake failure. The 4S technician will test the lights and electrical circuits to ensure visibility during night driving. They also reminded me to check the coolant level to avoid overheating. I make it a habit to schedule regular maintenance after the first service to save money and prevent major repairs. The process is quick, taking about an hour, and I recommend fellow car owners to do it on time, especially during the new car phase. It's also good to learn some basic knowledge, such as monthly self-checks of tire pressure.

In daily use of the Enclave, I found the first service thoughtfully designed. Beyond the essential oil and filter change, they also check tire pressure uniformity, brake fluid levels, wiper and light functionality. They even clean the air filter to improve air quality and tighten chassis screws to prevent rattles. The entire process is free, making it worry-free for novices like me. After the first service, the engine feels smoother, and fuel efficiency improved slightly. Remember to follow the manual's mileage limits and book appointments to avoid queues. Subsequent maintenance cycles become easier to plan.
