Internal maintenance

The internal maintenance shall be based on the internal cleaning, and shall be carried out after the internal cleaning.

Maintenance of instrument panel

After the instrument panel is cleaned, in order to slow down the aging of plastic parts such as the instrument panel, a layer of protective wax can be applied to the instrument panel to prolong the service life of the plastic material.

Maintenance of leather

Leather trims can be sprayed with a special leather wax and polished with a piece of dry cloth.

Maintenance of window glass

After the window glass is cleaned, glass coating products can be sprayed on it to prevent fogging of the windows in rain and snow or in winter.

Maintenance of sealing strips

Regular maintenance of the rubber sealing strips of the doors, windows and other parts of the vehicle is intended to maintain their flexibility and prolong their service life. Such maintenance can also improve the tightness, make the door easy to open, reduce the impact sound of closing the door, and prevent freezing in winter. The maintenance steps of the sealing strips are as follows:

1. Use a piece of soft cloth to remove dust and dirt from the surfaces of the sealing strips.

2. Apply special protective agent to rubber sealing strips regularly.

Tire maintenance

Defective tires will increase the risk of driving, and you should get into the habit of checking your tires before driving.

Tire pressure

It is suggested to contact the GAC Service Center to check tire pressure. If you find that the tire valve cap is missing, install a new one in time.

DANGER

◆ Insufficient tire pressure exacerbates tire deflection, and tires are extremely prone to overheating, which may lead to tread separation and tire burst. Too high or low tire pressure can accelerate tire wear, reduce vehicle maneuvering stability, and easily cause traffic accidents, injuries and even death.

WARNING

◆ T ake care t o maintain proper tire pressure to prevent accidents.

NOTE

◆ For inspection of tire pressure, the tire must be in a cold state. When the temperature increases, the tire pressure can be slightly higher than the specified value, and it is not necessary to reduce the tire pressure.

◆ When checking the tire pressure or tire inflation, balance the weight of occupants and luggage, avoid slopes and adjust the tire pressure according to vehicle load.

◆ After checking the tire pressure or tire inflation, be sure to put the tire valve cap back on the valve core.
