The 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 vehicle, usually after driving 5,000 kilometers or 6 months. The car must participate in the first maintenance on time, neither early nor delayed. 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 from the date of vehicle pickup. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance time: mileage and time. The first indicator met will be the standard. The first maintenance items include: oil change, oil filter replacement, cleaning the air filter, checking various fluid levels, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for damage, checking tire pressure, and examining tires for damage or bulges. Time required: Completing all tasks takes approximately 2 hours. The most crucial part of the first maintenance for a new car is changing the oil and oil filter. When changing the oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The oil selection must refer to the "Vehicle Usage and Maintenance Manual," as different vehicle models specify different oil grades. Maintenance precautions: Do not rinse the interior of the car with water: Many people clean their cars during holidays, using water to rinse the exterior and wiping it with a cloth. It is important to note that the interior should not be directly rinsed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, use a vacuum cleaner or remove them to scrub with a brush and detergent, then dry before replacing. The rubber mats under the driver's floor have many drainage holes. Water entering these areas will not dry but flow through the holes to corrode components like the gearbox. The best practice is to vacuum clean and then wipe with a cloth to prevent 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 with the same brand. Different brands of antifreeze have varying chemical properties and use different corrosion inhibitors. Mixing them may cause unnecessary issues. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When the bolts on a car rust, some may apply oil to make them functional again. However, lubricating the bolts and nuts on the wheels can pose safety risks. At high speeds, the bolts and nuts may loosen or even fall off, leading to driving failures.

I just bought a FAW-Volkswagen, and for the first maintenance, I brought the vehicle license, owner's manual, and purchase invoice. The vehicle license is essential for registering the car's information; the manual contains the maintenance log page, which the staff will update; the invoice proves the warranty period, ensuring free service. I also made an appointment, so when I arrived at the dealership, the process was straightforward, and I waited less than half an hour. The maintenance included an oil change, oil filter replacement, and checks on the tires and lights. The first service is usually due at six months or 5,000 kilometers—getting it for free is a nice perk, saving me a few hundred bucks. The whole process is simple; new car owners shouldn’t stress—just bring the required documents.

I've been driving a FAW-Volkswagen for many years. The materials required for the first maintenance are simple: the vehicle license must be brought to prove ownership; the vehicle manual records the maintenance history; and the purchase invoice verifies the warranty. None of these can be omitted, otherwise additional charges may apply. I recommend checking in advance if the manual is on hand to avoid delays. The technicians at the shop will replace basic components like fluids and check for safety hazards. Don't forget to make an appointment to save time waiting in line. The car runs more smoothly after maintenance.

I often help with car maintenance. For FAW-Volkswagen's first free maintenance, just bring the vehicle license, manual, and invoice. The vehicle license provides registration details, the manual serves as a record book, and the invoice verifies free service. Make an appointment to avoid crowds. During maintenance, the oil filter will be replaced, and a comprehensive inspection will be conducted. Having all materials ready speeds up the process, saving time when driving away.

How to Identify Vehicle Information via VIN?

To identify vehicle information via the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), follow these steps: 1. Positions 1-3 (WMI) indicate the manufacturer, brand, and type—World Manufacturer Identifier; 2. Positions 4-9 represent the vehicle descriptor section; 3. The 10th position denotes the model year; 4. The 11th position indicates the assembly plant; 5. Positions 12-17 are the production sequence number. The VIN, also known as the vehicle identification code, is a unique alphanumeric sequence assigned by the manufacturer to identify each vehicle. Comprising 17 characters (letters and digits), it's alternatively called the 17-digit identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. Through combinatorial arrangement, the VIN ensures no duplication occurs for the same vehicle model within 30 years, providing unique identification—hence often referred to as a car's ID card.

How many kilometers can a 48V electric vehicle travel?

48V electric vehicles can travel 60 to 85 kilometers. Electric vehicles are divided into two types: electric bicycles and electric motorcycles. The range of an electric vehicle is determined by the capacity of the battery pack. Electric bicycles typically use a 350W controller and a 350W motor. With the same battery, vehicles with higher power have greater driving force but cover shorter distances. Currently, lead-acid batteries are assembled with 12V per unit, commonly using 3 or 4 units in series, resulting in 36V or 48V configurations. There is also an 18V configuration with four units in series, totaling 64V. The distance an electric vehicle can travel, referred to in the industry as the range, is not only related to the battery voltage and current but also depends on factors such as the motor type, rated power, output efficiency, and load capacity.

Is the free highway period based on the entry or exit time?

Highway toll exemption is determined by the exit time. During statutory holidays, the toll-free policy for passenger vehicles is based on the time they pass through the toll station exit. If you enter the highway during a toll period but exit during a free period, no toll will be charged. Conversely, if you enter during a free period but exit during a toll period, tolls will apply. If you cannot exit the highway by 24:00 on the last day of the free period, you can exit at the nearest toll station before the toll period begins to avoid charges for the preceding section. The holiday toll-free policy specifically exempts small passenger vehicles from highway tolls during major holidays.

Why don't rear wheels need wheel balancing?

Rear wheels also need wheel balancing, as all four wheels of a car generally require balancing. If wheel balancing is not performed, abnormal vibrations may occur during high-speed driving, which can affect the vehicle's handling and high-speed stability, as well as potentially impact ride comfort. Wheel balancing doesn't need to be done regularly; it's only necessary after replacing new tires or repairing tires. During regular vehicle use, it's essential to maintain your car's tires periodically. Tires are the only components of a car that contact the road surface, directly affecting driving stability and safety factors.
