New car first maintenance time: after driving 3,000~5,000 kilometers or half a year. Additional information about new car first maintenance is as follows: 1. Many brand 4S shops have changed the first maintenance to 3,000 kilometers/3 months to shorten customers' maintenance cycles. The two values of 3,000~5,000 kilometers or half a year are based on whichever comes first. Exceeding the manufacturer's specified first maintenance mileage or time will affect the owner's three-guarantee rights. 2. During the initial driving period, as the moving parts of the car have not yet been run in, it is necessary to drive carefully, otherwise it will aggravate the damage to the parts. The running-in period allows each part of the engine to run smoothly and prolongs the service life of the vehicle. The running-in period of a new car is generally within 5,000 kilometers, which is the deadline for the first maintenance.

How to Determine Secondary Ignition After Wading Through Water

Check for musty odors inside the car. Water-damaged vehicles often have musty smells in hidden areas such as floor mats, trunk liners, and under the seats. Look for rust or disassembly marks. Inspect seat tracks for rust or mud/water stains, and check for watermarks or dirt at the ends. Press buttons or turn knobs. If most buttons and knobs feel sticky or have rebound resistance, it's due to sediment in the gaps affecting their movement after water exposure. Check for rust and metal shavings. Examine various connectors for mud deposits, and also inspect the vehicle's headlights for accumulated water or condensation.
