Hey everyone, let’s dive into the world of Chery Tiggo SEVEN maintenance. We’re going to cover everything you need to know to keep your Tiggo SEVEN running smoothly, from those quick pre-trip checks to the more involved scheduled services.
First up, what you can do before every journey. Before you even start the engine, take a quick look around your Tiggo SEVEN. Check your tire pressure – remember, the recommended pressure is usually found on a sticker inside the driver’s side doorjamb. Give your tires a visual inspection too, looking for any cuts, bulges, or unusual wear. A quick glance at your fluid levels is also a good idea – check your windshield washer fluid, and make sure you have enough engine oil. These simple checks can prevent bigger problems down the line.
Now, let’s talk about monthly maintenance. This is crucial for keeping your Tiggo SEVEN in top condition. Every month, you should check your engine oil level using the dipstick. Top it up if necessary, using the correct type and grade of oil specified in your owner’s manual. Also, check your coolant level in the expansion tank – again, top it up if needed, but be careful not to overfill. While you’re under the hood, take a look at your power steering fluid and brake fluid levels. These are usually transparent reservoirs, so you can easily see the fluid level. Remember, always consult your owner’s manual for the correct fluid types and levels. And don’t forget to check your battery terminals for corrosion – clean them if necessary with a wire brush and baking soda solution.
Now, let’s get into the scheduled maintenance, based on kilometers driven or time elapsed, whichever comes first. This is where things get a little more specific. The maintenance schedules can vary slightly depending on your region, so always refer to your owner’s manual for the most accurate information. However, I’ll give you a general idea based on the common practices in Russia.
Maintenance Work-ZERO, performed at either TWO THOUSAND kilometers or after THREE months of ownership, is primarily focused on initial checks. This includes a thorough inspection of all major systems, ensuring everything is functioning correctly. Your dealer will likely perform this service, and it’s a great opportunity to ask any questions you might have about your Tiggo SEVEN.
Maintenance Work-ONE, at TEN THOUSAND kilometers or ONE year, is a more comprehensive service. This typically involves an oil and filter change, a check of all fluids, and an inspection of the braking system, including brake pads and rotors. This is a crucial service for maintaining the longevity of your engine and ensuring your safety.
Maintenance Work-TWO, at TWENTY THOUSAND kilometers or TWO years, builds on the previous service. In addition to the oil and filter change and fluid checks, this service might include a more detailed inspection of the suspension and steering components. This is a good time to address any minor issues before they become major problems.
Finally, Maintenance Work-THREE, performed every THIRTY THOUSAND kilometers or THREE years, is the most extensive service. This often includes replacing the air filter, fuel filter, and spark plugs. A thorough inspection of the entire vehicle is also conducted, looking for any signs of wear and tear. This service is essential for preventing costly repairs down the line.
Remember, these are just general guidelines. Always refer to your owner’s manual for the precise maintenance schedule and specifications for your Chery Tiggo SEVEN. Regular maintenance is key to keeping your Tiggo SEVEN running smoothly and reliably for years to come. And don’t forget to keep those records – they’ll be invaluable if you ever need to make an insurance claim or sell your vehicle.

Okay, let’s dive into the specifics of maintaining your Chery Tiggo 7. We’re going to cover everything from engine oil changes to brake fluid flushes, so grab a pen and paper, or better yet, bookmark this video for easy reference!
First up, engine oil. Now, this is crucial. The recommended oil for your Tiggo 7 is usually a FIVE-W-THIRTY or FIVE-W-FORTY viscosity, depending on your climate. Always check your owner’s manual for the exact specification. The quantity you’ll need is typically around FOUR to FIVE LITERS, again, check that manual! Don’t forget to replace the oil filter at the same time. This is a relatively straightforward job, but if you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, take it to a mechanic. Using the wrong oil or neglecting oil changes can seriously damage your engine, leading to costly repairs down the line. We’re talking thousands of dollars, folks, so don’t skimp on this one.
Next, let’s talk transmission oil. The type and quantity of transmission fluid will depend on whether you have a manual or automatic transmission. Your owner’s manual will specify the correct fluid type – it’s usually a specific ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) for automatics. For manual transmissions, it’s generally a GL-FOUR or GL-FIVE gear oil. The amount needed varies, so consult your manual. Changing your transmission fluid is less frequent than your engine oil change, but it’s just as important for the longevity of your transmission. Neglecting this can lead to slipping gears, rough shifting, and ultimately, transmission failure.
Now, let’s move on to coolant. Your Chery Tiggo 7’s cooling system requires a specific type of coolant, usually a FIVE ZERO/FIFTY mix of coolant and distilled water. Never use just water! This mixture helps prevent corrosion and keeps your engine running at the optimal temperature. The amount of coolant needed will depend on the capacity of your cooling system, which you can find in your owner’s manual. Remember, a low coolant level can lead to overheating, which can cause significant engine damage. Regularly check your coolant level and top it off as needed.
Spark plugs are another important component. These little guys ignite the air-fuel mixture in your engine’s cylinders. Over time, they wear out and become less efficient. Replacing them according to the schedule in your owner’s manual is essential for optimal engine performance and fuel economy. The number of spark plugs will depend on your engine configuration, and your manual will tell you the correct type and gap setting. Don’t attempt to adjust the gap yourself unless you have the proper tools and experience.
Let’s talk about your power steering system. The power steering fluid needs to be checked and topped off periodically. Your owner’s manual will specify the correct type of power steering fluid for your Tiggo 7. Low power steering fluid can lead to difficulty steering, especially at low speeds. Regularly checking the fluid level is a simple preventative measure that can save you from a much bigger problem.
Now, the brake system. This is critical for your safety. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which can compromise its effectiveness. Your owner’s manual will specify the recommended brake fluid type and the frequency of flushing and replacing it. Never attempt to work on your brake system unless you have the proper training and experience. This is best left to a qualified mechanic.
Don’t forget your washer fluid! This is a simple one, but essential for visibility, especially in bad weather. Use a high-quality washer fluid that’s appropriate for your climate. In colder climates, you’ll need a fluid that won’t freeze.
Finally, let’s discuss your battery. Regularly check the battery terminals for corrosion and clean them as needed. Also, check the battery’s charge level periodically. A weak battery can leave you stranded, so it’s important to address any issues promptly. If you notice any problems with your battery, consult a mechanic.
