Owners recommend:

Regular DCT fluid changes 40,000–50,000 km.

Using DCT-specific fluid only—no substitutes.

Avoid prolonged idling in DCT models causes heat buildup.

Gentle throttle in stop-go traffic to prevent clutch wear.

Use manual mode on hills to avoid hunting between gears.

Routine software updates—ask dealer during service.

For manual models: clutch inspection every 30,000 km if used in heavy traffic.

Best practices:

Follow strict maintenance schedule.

Adjust driving style for city conditions.

Ensure all service is logged to support potential warranty claims.
