If the first time has passed without performing the first maintenance, the warranty qualification will be canceled, and subsequent maintenance will require payment. It is recommended that the car owner immediately go to the 4S shop for the first maintenance. The first maintenance of the car is very simple, generally only requiring the replacement of engine oil and the oil filter. The mileage for the first maintenance is usually 5,000 kilometers, and the car owner must go for the first maintenance on time. The precautions for the first maintenance are as follows: 1. Starting date: The first maintenance time of the car is calculated from the date of picking up the car, that is, from the day the car owner picks up the car. 2. Two indicators: The first maintenance time has two indicators, mileage and time, whichever comes first. Exceeding either one will affect the warranty. According to relevant regulations, exceeding the first maintenance date is regarded as automatically giving up the right to the first maintenance. If the first maintenance is not performed, the car will not be covered by the warranty for any quality problems in the future. Therefore, car owners must pay attention to the dealer's reminders and must not miss the first maintenance deadline. 3. Reasons for differences in first maintenance time: The first maintenance time and maintenance cycle of cars are different. Some cars have only 2,000 kilometers, while others have up to 8,000 kilometers. This is caused by differences in the specific technical conditions of the vehicles. The engine has a break-in period with the new car. Different car series, brands, and even models are equipped with engines of different designs. Some engines have better materials and higher precision, so the wear will be relatively smaller; some have higher requirements for engine oil, or even special requirements.

As someone who frequently assists relatives and friends with car-related matters, I recommend a three-step approach: immediately schedule the nearest appointment; self-check the vehicle's condition before going; and pay attention to communication skills during maintenance. Last week, my cousin's car was overdue by 40 days, and when I accompanied her to the 4S store, I found the reception attitude was much better than expected. Key reminders: overdue maintenance may turn free first-time service into a paid one, so confirm costs by phone in advance; check the brake pads and battery status; keep maintenance receipts to avoid future disputes. After remediation, it's advisable to place a sticky note on the dashboard as a reminder for the next maintenance date.
