The documents for a new car purchase include the vehicle certificate of conformity, purchase invoice, nameplate verification, vehicle user manual, three-guarantee service card, and other documents or attachments. Below is an introduction to the relevant documents: 1. The certificate of conformity is an important document for the car and is also required for vehicle registration. Only cars with this certificate meet the national standards for motor vehicle equipment quality and related requirements. 2. The purchase invoice is the most important proof when buying a car and is also one of the documents needed for registration. Therefore, when purchasing a car, be sure to obtain the purchase invoice from the dealer and confirm its validity. 3. Verify the information on the nameplate, such as the displacement, manufacturing date, chassis number, and engine number. The numbers on the certificate of conformity must match the engine number and chassis number on the vehicle.

You'll get a bunch of documents after buying a car! First, you must have the vehicle registration certificate to prove the car is yours; the driving license must always be kept in the car and shown when checked by traffic police; there's also the purchase invoice, like a birth certificate for the new car; insurance documents are essential too, with compulsory traffic insurance being mandatory; the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate should also be kept. These are the basics. When I bought my first car, I checked several times to make sure nothing was missing—the DMV will give them to you, remember to keep copies safe. Additionally, if you finance the car, there will be a loan contract; new cars come with a warranty manual, useful for maintenance. In short, don't rush to drive away; make sure all papers are complete to avoid the hassle of reapplying later.

How to Adjust a Crooked Steering Wheel?

The method to adjust a crooked steering wheel is: Turn the car's steering wheel fully to the right to expose the rear of the left front wheel. Loosen the fixing nut with a wrench, then rotate the left tie rod clockwise. After adjusting the car's left front wheel, adjust the right front wheel in the opposite direction. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, and airplanes. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a skeleton, foam, and the driver's airbag. Methods to identify steering wheel deviation include: 1. Observe the car logo on the steering wheel; 2. Remember the number of turns of the steering wheel when parking; 3. Move back and forth slightly after parking; 4. Lean out of the window to observe the tires.

How to Determine the Number of Cylinders in a Car Engine?

Methods to determine the number of cylinders in a car engine are: 1. Engines with a displacement below 1 liter are 3-cylinder; 2. A 2.5-liter displacement indicates a 4-cylinder engine; 3. Engines around 3 liters are 6-cylinder; 4. Around 4 liters indicates an 8-cylinder engine; 5. Displacements above 5.5 liters use 12-cylinder engines; 6. Check the number of spark plugs—the number of spark plugs equals the number of cylinders; 7. Observe the cylinder wires—the number of cylinder wires matches the engine's cylinder count. An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy. Maintenance considerations include: 1. Using high-quality engine oil for lubrication, cleaning, cooling, sealing, and wear reduction; 2. Using qualified coolant; 3. Regularly cleaning radiator scale; 4. Periodically removing carbon deposits from the car; 5. Timely replacement of the car's three filters.

How to Read the Car Odometer?

Start the engine, press and hold the top of the toggle lever on the right side of the steering wheel for more than 5 seconds, and the odometer will be displayed on the dashboard. The following is an introduction to the odometer: 1. Introduction: The speedometer indicates the speed of the car in km/h (kilometers per hour). The car odometer consists of two meters, one is the speedometer, and the other is the odometer. The car odometer is generally located directly in front of the driver's position. 2. Operation modes: The odometer has two operation modes: the total odometer and the trip odometer. The total odometer records and displays the total mileage of the vehicle, which is the distance traveled since the vehicle was put into use. The trip odometer shows the distance traveled since the last reset of the trip odometer. Press the instrument button briefly to switch between the displays of the two odometers.

What are the warning lights on the Foton truck dashboard?

Foton has many models, and the dashboard warning lights may vary depending on the model. Below is a detailed introduction to some of the dashboard warning lights: 1. Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light: This light indicates whether the engine oil pressure is normal. If it lights up while driving, the vehicle should not continue to operate. Continuing to drive may cause severe damage to the engine. 2. Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light: This light will illuminate if the coolant temperature is too high or too low. It appears blue when the temperature is too low and red when it is too high. In some vehicles, instead of a warning light, there is a temperature gauge on the dashboard where the needle moves up or down with the coolant temperature. 3. Seat Belt Reminder Light: Most models nowadays are equipped with a seat belt reminder light. It is depicted as a small red figure with a band across the chest, resembling a figure holding a sword. The light will turn off once the seat belt is fastened or when exiting the vehicle.

What is the Reverse Gear Letter?

The letter for the car reverse gear is R, which stands for 'reverse' in English, meaning backward direction. When using the R gear in daily driving, it's important to note that you must wait until the car has completely stopped before shifting into R gear. Otherwise, it may cause certain damage to the transmission, and over time, it can affect the car's braking performance. Below is an introduction to the correct usage of the car reverse gear: 1. Manual transmission models: After stopping the vehicle, first press the clutch and brake, then shift into reverse gear, followed by a half-clutch and slight throttle operation. 2. Automatic transmission models: For automatic cars, you need to press the brake pedal and press the safety button on the gear lever or push down the gear shift lever to engage or disengage the R gear. Both P (Park) and N (Neutral) gears can be directly switched to R gear, but when switching between forward gears and R gear, you should pause at the N gear to reduce the impact of reverse oil flow in the transmission during gear shifting.

Is the Haval H9 usually front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive?

Haval H9 is usually front-wheel drive. The following is an introduction about the drive system: The driving method of a car refers to the arrangement of the engine and the number and position of the driving wheels. The most basic classification standard is based on the number of driving wheels, which can be divided into two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. 1. In the two-wheel drive form, it can be further subdivided into front-engine rear-wheel drive (FR), front-engine front-wheel drive (FF), rear-engine rear-wheel drive (RR), mid-engine rear-wheel drive (MR), etc., according to the position of the engine and the driving wheels. 2. Four-wheel drive means that both the front and rear wheels of the car have power, and the engine output torque can be distributed to all wheels in different proportions according to the road conditions to improve the driving ability of the car.
