Routine Maintenance
Vehicle safety, reliable drive ability and good
performance all partly depend on how you
maintain your vehicle.
Because maintenance is the responsibility of the
vehicle owner, you must follow BAIC’s
suggestions to perform routine maintenance of
your vehicle, replace the engine oil and
routinely check and replace the brake fluid and
coolant.
Maintenance Record
The Warranty Manual includes maintenance
record pages, which you can use to record
information on the engine oil replacements and
inspections which have been made for your
vehicle. Our authorized dealerships will also use
the maintenance record pages to record
information on brake fluid replacements, airbag
module replacements, seat belt tightening
devices, etc.
After each engine oil replacement and
inspection, be sure to ask the authorized BAIC
dealership to sign and seal the maintenance
record page.
Replace Brake Fluid
Regardless of the driven mileage of a vehicle,
its brake fluid should be replaced every two
years. When the two-year period expires, our
authorized dealership will replace the brake
fluid when it is replacing the engine oil or
performing inspections, thus saving you from
making an extra visit to the dealership.
Replace Coolant
Regardless of the driven mileage of a vehicle,
its engine coolant should be replaced at least
every two years. When the two-year period
expires, our authorized dealership will replace
the coolant when it is being replaced the engine
oil or performing inspections, thus saving you
from making an extra visit to the dealership.
Exhaust Emission Control
Your vehicle has been equipped with exhaust
emission and evaporation devices which comply
with the state and legal provisions. You should
be aware that: all unauthorized replacements,
refitting and adjustments of these devices by the
vehicle owner him/herself or vehicle repair
personnel are unlawful and the vehicle owner
him/herself or vehicle repair personnel shall be
responsible for any consequences thus caused.
In addition, you should not make any
adjustment to the engine settings. The purpose
of formulating these provisions is to ensure that
your vehicle complies with the strict laws and
regulations on exhaust emission. Incorrect
engine settings will have a negative impact on
exhaust emission, engine performance and fuel
consumption and generate high temperatures,
thus causing damage to the three-way catalytic
converter and the engine.
