After buying a car, you need to obtain the purchase invoice, vehicle registration certificate, tax payment certificate, conformity certificate, vehicle user manual, warranty certificate, insurance policy, driving license, inspection label, etc. Below are the relevant introductions about car purchase: Complete car documents: such as purchase invoice, certificate of conformity, vehicle conformity certificate, vehicle registration certificate, warranty certificate, vehicle user manual, etc. These must be checked for completeness before payment when picking up the new car. If any document is missing, you should immediately request it from the 4S store. Reject problematic cars: Consumers must refuse to accept flooded cars or problematic cars. No matter how much discount the 4S store offers, you should firmly return the car, because the owner has no idea how much harm these vehicles may cause in the future, leading to more expenses.

The first thing to do after buying a car is to obtain the vehicle registration certificate and purchase invoice, as these documents prove the car truly belongs to you. I remember when I bought my first car in my youth, I immediately went through the vehicle registration and license plate procedures upon receiving these, and also secured an insurance policy to ensure safety on the road. Additionally, 4S dealerships usually provide two keys, a warranty manual, and an owner's manual, the latter of which teaches you how to operate and perform daily maintenance. New owners should especially take care to keep these items safe, as replacing them can be time-consuming if lost. It's advisable to register at the DMV immediately to avoid being checked on the road. Experienced individuals will also check if the car toolkit includes a spare tire and emergency supplies. In short, keep all documents organized in a folder for easy access when selling or transferring the car later on.

I was super excited when I first got the car, and I couldn't wait to take it out for a spin with the new keys! The salesperson will hand you the purchase invoice, registration certificate, and other documents—make sure to keep them safe and dry. Don't forget to get the insurance policy and activate it immediately, or driving without it would be illegal. My owner's manual includes instructions for simple maintenance tasks like changing the air filter. Also, keep the warranty card handy—regular check-ups at the 4S store are free. As thrilling as it is, remember to register and get license plates at the DMV, and store all documents properly to avoid issues. As a new driver, don't delay these steps—develop good habits to protect your rights.

What is the normal range for tire pressure monitoring?

The normal range for tire pressure monitoring is between 2.2 and 2.5 bar. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and unstable tire pressure can reduce the tire's lifespan. Hazards of unstable tire pressure: 1. Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates uneven wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire. The method to reset the tire pressure monitoring system is: 1. Ensure the vehicle's tire pressure is within the normal range; 2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine; 3. Power on the vehicle and hold down the tire pressure monitoring button; 4. After 5 seconds, a warning sound will be heard, and releasing the button indicates a successful reset.

The scale value where the handle is turned to represents the set torque value, which is measured in Newton meters (Nm) or kilogram-force meters (kgf·m). The unit is indicated on the dial. A torque wrench, also known as a torque spanner, moment wrench, or adjustable torque wrench, measures torque as the product of force and distance. It is essential for tightening screws and bolts to ensure they are securely fastened without damaging the threads due to excessive torque.
