- Change oil and service vehicle every 5,000km, incl. oil filter change and air filter clean
- Periodically check the tyre pressure and make sure they are well pumped up
- Stop the car immediately and seek advice if you notice anything out of the ordinary, especially unusual noise, raising temperature, etc
