Paying today’s prices for tomorrow’s servicing costs means no financial surprises for servicing, labor, and component replacements for the duration of the plan.

The benefits of buying a new vehicle with a GWM Service Plan are:

• Fixed cost motoring with paying today’s prices for tomorrow’s services (inflation hedge).
• Your precious vehicle will always be taken care of in line with GWM’s Quality Standards.

IMPORTANT
Customers must present their vehicle for servicing within the specified time or mileage range from each Scheduled Service interval during the eligibility period of the Service Plan. If a vehicle is presented outside the valid eligibility periods for the nominated Scheduled Service interval, the Service Plan may not apply to the vehicle. If a vehicle is presented before the Scheduled Service interval, the relevant service may be performed early within the Service Plan Period and the next service interval will commence from that time and or distance. This will bring all future intervals forward by the corresponding time and or distance. Unfortunately, a customer or vehicle may not have or carry out more services than what is costed or provided for within the Service Plan policy on a vehicle.

Unfortunately, failing to have the vehicle serviced, maintained, and corrosion inspected, within 1500km or 1 month of the stipulated service interval, may invalidate applicable warranties, void a service plan or an owner may only have proportional warranty cover for failures.

SERVICING AND MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

For complete peace of mind and value, we recommend that you always service, maintain, and repair your vehicle at a GWM Dealership throughout the lifespan of the vehicle at the prescribed interval according to the specific service schedules.
This is to ensure that the vehicle is inspected and components are replaced or maintained (e.g. all filters, oil, spark plugs, coolant) at the correct time and mileage as per schedule to ensure the vehicle will continue to serve the owner economically with reliability and component durability. Furthermore, lack of or late servicing causes premature wear and tear of components and long-term damage. In addition, a vehicle could be subject to safety recalls, service product updates, or other such software updates, and if the vehicle is not presented on time for service, it could fail or start to have drivability concerns. Indirectly too, any vehicle that is not serviced or maintained on time will not perform at its optimum and will become uneconomical.

Unfortunately, failing to have the vehicle serviced, maintained, and corrosion inspected, within 1500km or 1 month of the stipulated service interval, may invalidate applicable warranties, or an owner may only have proportional warranty cover for failures. It is important to note that if any warranty- related repairs or claims are to be validated and approved by GWM South Africa, then proof and record of all services, specified parts, oil grades, fitments, checks, and work carried out by the specific Service Schedule for your vehicle will always be required. (GWM Service Schedules are available from your closest Dealer)

ALWAYS SERVICE ON TIME, AND BRING SERVICING IN LINE WITH INTERVALS WHEN APPLICABLE OR BEING LATE

In the unfortunate event of non-adherence, an owner might be faced with proportional or no warranty cover for a failure, and a full warranty void might be applicable.

APPROVED BODY REPAIRERS

INSIST ON USING A GWM-APPROVED BODY REPAIRER
In the event of an unfortunate vehicle accident, always insist and ensure that your vehicle will only be repaired by a GWM Approved Body Repairer. In the unlikely event that the vehicle is repaired by a non-approved Body Repairer, there are serious risks about vehicle reliability, safety, and no or proportional warranty cover•risk. (Approved Body Repairer listings are available online or from your closest Dealer)

INSIST ON THE USE OF ONLY GWM GENUINE PARTS
Genuine Parts are designed and manufactured with exacting standards including attention to detail to achieve precise levels of fit and function, making a significant contribution to your vehicle’s value reliability, performance, and integrity.
With Genuine Parts, there are no compromises. These are guaranteed to fit and work. Although non-genuine parts may seem like a replica of Genuine Parts, these are often made from low-grade materials. This inherent lack of quality makes non-genuine parts less effective and shortens their period of serviceability. Fitment of non-genuine parts will jeopardize the validity of your warranty (where applicable), which could have expensive consequences should major components fail and will impact negatively your vehicle’s resale value.

WHAT TO DO IN AN ACCIDENT SITUATION
If you are involved in an accident, stay calm and follow the steps below to make sure you and others remain safe:

• Check for injuries. If any serious injuries are incurred, call an ambulance or the police immediately
• If you are in an unsafe location and your car can be moved, drive it to the closest safe location
• If your car cannot be driven, make sure you and other passengers are away from other traffic or remain in the vehicle.
• Turn off the vehicle ignition and turn on your hazard lights to warn other drivers. If you have a safety triangle, place it on the road at least 5m from your vehicle.
• Gather the important incident, contact, vehicle, and insurance information from the other driver(s) if there is more than one vehicle involved. (take photos)
• Call your insurance company immediately and don’t allow your vehicle to be towed by any towing service other than your insurance provider’s authorized towing service.
• Report the accident to the police within 24 hours.

   Incorrect inflation pressures, rapid acceleration, quick stops, high vehicle speeds, and loads, all affect tire life and can cause uneven wear. Tires must be rotated regularly to ensure uniform wear and maximum life.

3. Paint and Trim
   These are affected by normal wear and exposure. Proper maintenance and care of these items can add to their appearance and durability.

4. Diesel Vehicles
   For all Diesel-powered derivatives, the fuel tank should not be run empty. The tank must be filled immediately if the low fuel level indicator illuminates. The Diesel Injection Pump is reliant on lubrication from the diesel fuel and any interruption in the flow of fuel will result in damage to the Injection Pump.

5. Vehicle Storage
   Should you consider storing your vehicle for any length of time, consult your GWM Dealer for the correct procedures to be adopted.

6. Check Weekly

   • Radiator or surge tank coolant level.
   • Windscreen washer bottle fluid level.
   • Brake and clutch master cylinder fluid level.
   • Tire pressures.
   • Engine oil level.
   • Check the operation of all external lights and indicators.

OILS AND OIL CONSUMPTION

Oil and Additives
Do not use any oil additives in your vehicle. These could result in increased operating costs and component failure. The oils, fuels, and fluids recommended and used at GWM Dealers meet the highest specification laid down by GWM for use under all operating conditions.

FACTS ABOUT OIL CONSUMPTION
Petrol and Diesel engines use oil to lubricate cylinder walls, pistons piston rings, and many other parts. With each stroke of the piston, a thin film of oil is left on the cylinder walls, and on the firing stroke, it is burned. If an engine burnt one drop of oil on every firing stroke, it would need approximately 400ml per kilometer. Consumption as this is unheard of. However, engines, irrespective of how efficient, do use some oil to prevent rapid engine wear. The rate of consumption depends upon the quality and viscosity of the oil, engine r/min, the temperature, and the amount of dilution and oxidization in the crankcase. If the engine oil is checked, it may indicate full on the dipstick, but this could be misleading due to the vehicle being operated for 2000km or more in the city or congested road conditions. This causes a build-up of condensation and unburnt fuel in the combustion chamber, which passes into the crankcase, and thus, gives a false dipstick reading. If the vehicle should then be driven at high engine r/min for a long journey, the unburnt fuel will boil off rapidly, and the vehicle then appears to consume oil. It is required to let the vehicle cool down for approximately two minutes before a reading is taken on the dipstick. High-speed operating conditions will greatly accelerate oil consumption due to the inability of the piston rings to scavenge the oil completely at higher r/min and high engine temperatures.
Automobile manufacturers have proved in tests that an internal combustion engine uses seven times the quantity of oil at 100km/h than it does at 60 km/h. No standard rate of consumption can be established because of the varying combinations and conditions, and as a guide, we consider the following as normal oil consumption on petrol and diesel engines.

Petrol and Diesel Engines
Oil consumption of up to 2,0 litres per 1,000 km during the first 10,000-15,000km of vehicle life is considered normal, as it takes approximately 10,000km for the piston rings to bed into the cylinder walls, and the normal consumption should then drop to approximately 1,5 litre per 15 000 km.

GWM reserves the right to test for the correct grade of oil, in case of any engine or component failure, to validate a warranty claim.

FUELS AND FUEL CONSUMPTION

Fuel and Additives
Do not use any fuel additives in your vehicle. These could result in increased operating costs and component failure. The oils, fuels, and fluids recommended meet the highest specification laid down by GWM for use under all operating conditions.

FACTS ABOUT FUEL CONSUMPTION
The industry standard, referred to as SANS 20101, is the standard used in South Africa. There are common misconceptions regarding how manufacturers conduct fuel consumption tests. For instance, there is no actual road driving with fuel metering equipment. The measurement is done by analyzing the quantity of the individual gases (Hydrocarbon, Carbon Dioxide, and Carbon Monoxide) being emitted from the exhaust by running the vehicle on a Chassis Dynamometer for just over 3 minutes to simulate. Therefore, it is imperative to note that the results obtained in such a controlled environment will differ from that obtained by customers in “real world” conditions. The measurement method defined by SANS 20101 (which is equivalent to ECE R101) is prescribed and legislated by the Government in terms of the Compulsory Specifications for Motor Vehicles and used by all Vehicle OEMs in South Africa, without exception.

It is critically important that when any fuel consumption testing or comparison is done on a vehicle, it is clear up front that one cannot replicate/compare the testing conditions especially (urban, extra-urban, and combined) results achieved on the vehicle or customer’s log with that of the SANS figures we are legal to list about CO2 and consumption conducted in a lab with the vehicle on a chassis dynamometer. Further, the showroom sticker and listed fuel consumption figures (in Vehicle brochures, etc) are for the consumer to compare different manufacturer’s vehicles. Those figures are achieved and recorded by conducting a set of specific tests under specific conditions within a laboratory on a rolling dynamometer. Furthermore, the urban and extra-urban conditions/cycles are conducted respectively with specific durations, vehicle speeds, air pressure, engine temperatures, no use of accessories, etc. within the laboratory on a rolling dynamometer. These tests are not conducted on the (normal day) road and that’s why a consumer’s results will vary (from the ‘sticker/brochure’ and consumer vs consumer etc) due to the endless variables from consumer to consumer on normal roads and not excluding the various conditions and usage patterns (e.g. fully loaded with goods/passengers or not, vehicle accessories used like air conditioner, canopies fitted, reef vs sea level atmospheric pressure, road gradients/inclines, traffic driving, tire pressures, stop-start and acceleration driving styles, motorway cruising speeds, gear shifting)

Diesel Engine Fuel
Low Sulphur diesel (50ppm or lower) is the recommended fuel, for use in your diesel vehicle

Petrol Engine Fuel
Only unleaded fuels are to be used in all petrol vehicles.
GWM reserves the right to test for the correct grade of fuel or fuel quality, in case of any engine or component failure, to validate a warranty claim.
