Daily Maintenance Items
Perform daily maintenance before driving
each day as described in this chapter.
If any unusual noises, vibrations, or smells
are noticed, immediately check the cause or go
to a dealership for repairs.
Follow the "Daily Maintenance Precautions"
for any check or maintenance work.
External Daily Maintenance Items
Check that all doors and the powertrain
compartment lid operate normally.
Check that all door locks function properly.
Lubricate hinges and latches if necessary.
Ensure that the powertrain compartment
lid's safety hook still keeps it closed when the
main lock is opened.
Doors and Powertrain Compartment Lid
Regularly clean front and rear headlights.
Ensure that brake lights, turn signals, front
headlights, and other lighting equipment operate
normally and are securely xed. Check that the
headlight beam height is correct.
Vehicle Lights
Before long trips, measure tire pressure
with a pressure gauge. Adjust the pressure of all
tires to the specied value if necessary. Carefully
check tires for cuts, bulges, cracks, excessive
wear, or other damage.
Tires
It's recommended to interchange the front
and rear tires in a cross pattern every 10,000 km.
The interval for tire rotation may vary based on
driving habits and road conditions.
Wheel Rotation
Regularly clean the windshield. Check
at least every six months for cracks or other
damage.
Windshield
Regularly clear leaves, owers, pollen, and
other debris from the ventilation grill. Especially
in rainy or snowy weather, promptly remove
snow from the ventilation grill to ensure the air
intake and water channels are clear. Otherwise,
the drainage outlet of the water channel may be
blocked, affecting the air conditioning effect and
even causing system failure.
If the ventilation grill is not cleaned for a
long time, leaves, flowers, pollen, and other
debris may mold, causing odors in the cabin.
