When a car leaves the factory, it usually only comes with a minimal amount of fuel, and the 4S store generally does not fill it up. Here are some precautions to take when picking up a new car: 1. Car Exterior: New cars may have minor scratches or dents during transportation. When picking up the car, drive it to a well-lit area and inspect the exterior, paying special attention to the four corners, as these are the most prone to damage. 2. Car Interior: First, check the odometer. If the odometer shows more than 50 kilometers, the car might be suspicious. Adjust the car seat to its furthest position and check for any rust. If rust is found, the car may have significant hidden issues. 3. Functional Configuration: Sit inside the car, start the engine, and thoroughly check all the lights to ensure they are working properly. Also, inspect the multimedia system. 4. Engine Compartment: Open the engine compartment from inside the car and check if the wiring is neat and the connectors are normal. Also, look for dust in hidden areas. If a lot of dust is found in the corners, it may indicate that the car has been in storage for a long time. 5. Car Tires: Newly manufactured cars will have tire hairs on the tires. If no tire hairs are found, it means the car has been driven for some distance, and the owner should be cautious.

How to Determine Whether Brake Pads Should Be Replaced?

To determine whether brake pads should be replaced, you can check the remaining thickness of the brake pads. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are friction materials fixed on the brake drums or discs that rotate with the wheels. Once the friction material is worn out, the brake pads should be replaced promptly. Otherwise, the metal backing plate will come into direct contact with the brake disc, resulting in loss of braking effectiveness and damage to the brake disc. Steps to replace brake pads: 1. Release the handbrake, loosen the wheel hub screws of the wheel where the brake pads need to be replaced, and use a jack to lift the car and remove the tire; 2. Remove the tire to expose the brake caliper and brake disc, and apply lubricating oil to the screws or nuts that need to be loosened or removed; 3. Hang the brake caliper with a rope and remove the old brake pads; 4. Open the hood and unscrew the cap of the brake fluid reservoir; 5. Install the new brake pads in the correct position.
