When does a new car need its first maintenance?
1 Answers
The first maintenance for a new car should be done within 3 to 5 months, typically when the mileage reaches 3000 to 5000 kilometers. When the time is approaching, the 4S dealership will kindly remind the owner when it's time for maintenance. For the first maintenance of a new car, it is generally based on whichever comes first. If the time is up but the mileage hasn't been reached, the first maintenance should still be performed; otherwise, it will be considered as missing the maintenance, and the car's information cannot be recorded in the national warranty system. The first maintenance items for a car include: changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter, checking the generator belt and wiper blades for damage; inspecting the levels of various fluids to ensure they are normal; checking the tire pressure for normal levels and looking for signs of uneven wear, bulges, or damage; examining the car's chassis, including the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints for any scratches; and verifying that all switches and lights are functioning properly. Important notes for the first maintenance include: making an appointment in advance; bringing essential items such as the maintenance manual and vehicle registration certificate; and recording any faults or questions encountered during daily driving to inform the staff during the first maintenance registration.
