To keep the car in good condition for a long time, we recommend that complex maintenance work be carried out at the service station and at the end of the warranty period.
This section describes the daily maintenance of the vehicle. Descriptions of works related to routine maintenance are given in the relevant sections of the site.
Daily maintenance includes work performed by the driver before leaving (see Preparing the car for departure), as well as car wash and interior cleaning. Scheduled maintenance includes work performed after a certain mileage or after a certain time. A more accurate subdivision of works by terms and mileage is given in the service book attached to the car, as well as in Table. 1.
