What Must Be Brought for the First Maintenance?
1 Answers
Items required for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; vehicle registration book; 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. Important note: make an appointment with the 4S store in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial maintenance after a new car has been driven, with the specific time varying by vehicle, generally after driving 1000 to 3000 kilometers. The car must participate in the first maintenance in a timely manner, neither ahead of schedule nor delayed. The realization of the first maintenance marks the end of the car's break-in period, allowing it to be driven according to the standard load and normal speed required by the car. The time for the first insurance is calculated based on the date the car was picked up. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance time: mileage and time. Whichever comes first will be the standard. The first maintenance items include: changing the engine oil, oil filter, cleaning the air filter, checking various oil levels for normality, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for damage, checking tire pressure for normality, and examining tires for damage, bulging, etc. Time required: completing all tasks takes approximately 2 hours. The most important aspect of a new car's first maintenance is changing the engine oil and oil filter. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The selection of engine oil must refer to the "Vehicle Use and Maintenance Manual," as different vehicle models specify different engine oil grades. Maintenance precautions: Do not wash the interior of the car body with water: Many people clean their cars themselves during holidays, washing the body with water and wiping it with a cloth. Here, it's important to remind that the interior of the car body does not need to be washed directly with water. If the floor mats are dirty, you can use a vacuum cleaner or take them out, scrub them with a brush and detergent, dry them, and then put them back. There are many holes under the rubber mats on the floor of the driving compartment. If water enters, it will not dry but flow through these holes to areas like the gearbox, causing erosion and corrosion. A better approach is to clean with a vacuum cleaner 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's recommended to drain the antifreeze and add the same brand from the beginning. Since antifreeze brands differ, their chemical properties vary greatly. Various functional preservatives can corrode others. 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 on a moving car rust, they are often oiled to function again. To prevent the bolts and nuts on the wheels from rusting, some people apply lubricant to them, but this brings necessary risks to safe driving. When the car is driven at high speed, the bolts and nuts can be easily loosened or even fall off, leading to driving failures. When promoting an EFI car, there's no need to step on the accelerator: The promoter of an EFI car is different from that of a regular car. Its fuel injection control device can actively adjust the fuel supply based on the promoter's temperature and working conditions, allowing the promoter to function smoothly.
