When picking up the car, it is essential to thoroughly inspect the vehicle and ensure all accompanying items are complete. More details about picking up the car are as follows: 1. The accompanying items of the car include the instruction manual, user manual, maintenance manual, spare tire, jack, tire-changing tools, and first aid kit. 2. Some high-end Mercedes-Benz models are equipped with run-flat tires, so these Mercedes-Benz vehicles do not have a spare tire, nor do they include tire-changing tools or a jack. 3. When picking up the car, a thorough inspection is necessary. During the inspection, first check the exterior paint for any flaws, then examine the main screws in the engine compartment for signs of tampering or rust. Inspect the interior for any defects, and finally start the engine for a test drive. If everything is in order, you can proceed to the vehicle management office for registration. 4. Many parts in the engine compartment have production dates, such as the headlights, radiator, and radiator frame. Many other components on the car also have production dates, such as the glass and tires. The production dates of all parts on the car should be earlier than the vehicle's production date; otherwise, they have been replaced later. The vehicle's production date is indicated on the nameplate on the B-pillar and also on the nameplate in the engine compartment. During the inspection, you can check the production dates of various components on the car and compare them with the vehicle's production date to determine if any parts have been replaced later.
When picking up a Mercedes-Benz, don't be careless. I need to thoroughly inspect it. First, carefully examine the exterior in good lighting, checking for scratches or dents on the body paint, especially on the doors and mirrors. The interior also needs attention—look for any flaws in the seat leather or screens, and test if the lights, air conditioning, and sound system function properly. Start the engine and listen for smooth operation without unusual noises; it's best to take a short test drive to feel the brake responsiveness and steering stability. Don't overlook the documents—ensure the contract, invoice, keys, and maintenance manual are all complete, and take photos for records. I also remind myself to confirm the warranty terms and the first service date to avoid future disputes. After picking up the car, refuel immediately, and don't get so excited that you forget to drive home safely.
