Customers and automotive enthusiasts gathered today at the CFAO Mobility Training Centre in Malambo for “Under The Hood”, a collaborative customer engagement initiative between CFAO Mobility Zambia (Toyota) and TotalEnergies Zambia.
The event was designed to equip vehicle owners with practical knowledge on vehicle maintenance, safety, and the effective use of automotive products to enhance vehicle performance and longevity. The session officially commenced with special remarks from Anne Dooh-Priso, Chief Executive Officer of TotalEnergies Zambia, and Rodgers Ndakala, National Sales Manager for Toyota by CFAO Mobility Zambia, who both emphasized the importance of proactive vehicle maintenance and driver awareness in ensuring safety, reliability, and cost-effective vehicle ownership. Participants were taken through several key aspects of vehicle care, including the meaning of various dashboard warning lights and the appropriate actions motorists should take when these indicators appear. Experts also provided guidance on engine oil maintenance, highlighting the recommended intervals for oil changes and the importance of using the correct lubricants to optimize engine performance.
Another key area of focus was tyre safety, where attendees learned how to interpret information displayed on tyre sidewalls, understand tyre tread depth requirements, and recognize signs of tyre wear that could compromise vehicle safety. The interactive sessions provided practical demonstrations and valuable insights that enabled customers to better understand their vehicles and make informed maintenance decisions. The “Under The Hood” initiative reflects the shared commitment of CFAO Mobility and TotalEnergies to customer education and road safety. By providing customers with hands-on knowledge and expert guidance, the event reinforced the importance of regular vehicle inspections, preventive maintenance, and the use of quality automotive products in keeping vehicles safe and roadworthy.
