What is maintenance in general? It is a scope of works on care and maintenance of all systems of the car in a normal working condition, timely and correct performance of which can considerably increase service life of the car.
Attention
Improper or incomplete maintenance can lead to malfunctions.

Note
Dear self-taught car mechanics! Remember that while your car is under warranty service in an authorized service center, carrying out certain work yourself may void your warranty.
Attention
Performing certain maintenance work can lead to injury in case if the lack of knowledge and experience that are backed by overconfidence, outweighs the cup of fear and self-preservation instinct on the scales of common sense.
Attention
Performing works under the car hood with the engine running can be a health hazard. This danger may be increased in case if you are wearing jewelry or loose clothing. They can get jammed in moving parts and cause injuries. Therefore, in case if you need to keep the engine running while working under the hood, make sure you have taken off all jewelry (especially rings, bracelets, watches and necklaces), as well as a tie, scarf and similar items of clothing before approaching a running engine or cooling fans.
