The process for new car inspection is: 1. Check the car paint for scratches, spots, dents, and wear; 2. Check the vehicle identification plate; 3. Check the windshield; 4. Check the engine; 5. Check the doors; 6. Check the tire production date; 7. Check the interior environment; 8. Check the basic functions of the vehicle; 9. Test run the vehicle. The precautions for new car inspection are to keep the relevant certificates safe. The relevant certificates for the new car are usually handed over to the customer by the 4S store, such as the purchase invoice, certificate of conformity, vehicle conformity certificate, motor vehicle registration certificate, three-guarantee certificate, vehicle user manual, new car delivery confirmation form, etc.

The new car inspection process is quite important when picking up a new vehicle. I remember when I last bought a new car, I started with the exterior: walking around the car to carefully check the paint for any scratches or dents, and feeling each door gap to ensure they were even. Then, I looked underneath the car to inspect the chassis, making sure not to miss any impacts. Inside the car, I started the engine to listen for smooth operation without any unusual noises. Next, I tested all the functions, such as the air conditioning, lights, audio system, and windows, pressing every button. Don’t forget to check the tire date and pressure to avoid getting old tires from the factory. Finally, verify all documents, like the certificate of conformity and purchase invoice, to ensure the information is correct. My advice is to bring a checklist—don’t let excitement cloud your judgment. Spend half an hour going through everything meticulously to catch potential issues early and avoid future hassles.

Can license plate numbers be changed?

No. If the vehicle has already been registered with the DMV, the license plate number cannot be changed. Below is relevant information: 1. Unregistered selected numbers can be changed: After selecting a license plate number through the online DMV vehicle number selection system, the owner must submit the required documents to the DMV within the specified time frame to complete the registration process. If the application is not processed within the deadline, the selected number will automatically become invalid and return to the pool of available numbers. The automatic cancellation of the selected number does not disqualify the vehicle owner from participating in the online pre-selection process again. Alternatively, the owner can visit the DMV service window to select a number through the "20-choose-1" random selection system. 2. Reapplication is possible after transfer: One method is to transfer the vehicle as a used car (first sell the vehicle as a used car, then repurchase a new vehicle with a new license plate). Another method is to transfer the vehicle between spouses (change the vehicle registration to the spouse's name, then repurchase a new vehicle and select a new license plate).

How to Remove Odors Inside the Car?

Ventilate and air out the car, place pomelo peels, orange peels, activated charcoal bags, or edible vinegar. Below are related introductions about car odors: 1. Causes of car odors: Extensive use of plastic, rubber, and other materials in car interiors; odors caused by the air filter; odors from the evaporator; personal habits like eating or smoking in the car, which naturally produce odors over time. 2. Hazards of car odors: Harmful gases like formaldehyde and toluene are very damaging to human health. Prolonged exposure to strong odors in the car can lead to symptoms like dizziness and nausea. Formaldehyde, in particular, has been identified by the WHO as a carcinogenic and teratogenic substance, so never overlook odors inside the car.

Does an oil change require replacing the oil filter?

Whether the oil filter needs to be replaced is determined by the mileage driven, and it should be replaced approximately every 5,000 kilometers. However, if the mileage hasn't reached 5,000 kilometers, the oil filter should still be replaced whenever the oil is changed. Below is extended information about the standards an oil filter should meet: 1. Filtration capability: It should have high filtration efficiency to effectively remove impurities from the oil. 2. Mechanical strength: It should possess sufficient mechanical strength to withstand certain pressure differentials. 3. Cost-effectiveness: It should be easy to clean, resistant to corrosion and aging, and affordable. 4. Filtration accuracy: The filtration accuracy of the oil filter must ensure that the filtered particle diameter is smaller than the clearance of moving parts and the thickness of the oil film. Different equipment characteristics require filters with varying filtration accuracies, which is crucial for the proper operation of the lubrication system.

What are the pros and cons of paint protection film?

Paint protection film has advantages such as super toughness, wear resistance, resistance to yellowing, easy adhesion, and impact resistance. At the same time, it has disadvantages such as high technical requirements for installation and high cost. Below is relevant information: 1. Maintaining paint appearance: Paint protection film is a high-performance, new type of environmentally friendly film widely used in the automotive film beauty and maintenance industry. It is commonly known as a transparent paint protection film, a type of polyurethane film containing UV-resistant polymers. It resists yellowing, has super toughness, wear resistance, easy adhesion, and impact resistance. After installation, it isolates the car's paint from the air, protecting against acid rain, oxidation, and scratches, providing long-lasting paint protection. 2. Uneven quality: Nowadays, there are many low-quality products on the market, mixed in with good ones, sold under the guise of paint protection film at cheap prices. As a result, within less than half a year, the paint begins to bubble.

What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Run-Flat Tires?

The comparison of the pros and cons of run-flat tires is as follows: 1. Advantages: (1) They adopt reinforced sidewall technology, aiming to allow the vehicle to drive up to 80 kilometers at a speed of 80 km/h even when the tire is at zero pressure. (2) Run-flat tires have the function of being puncture-resistant due to their thicker sidewalls, and when an RSC tire suddenly loses pressure, it can still support the car's movement with its thicker sidewall, preventing the steering wheel from losing control due to a tire blowout. 2. Disadvantages: (1) Driving safety, convenience, and comfort cannot be compatible, and the selling price and maintenance costs are relatively high. (2) TPI cannot replace the driver's regular checks of tire pressure. After each change in tire pressure or installation of new tires, the driver needs to reinitialize the TPI system following a simple and convenient operation procedure to save the tire data.

How Long Should a Motorcycle Battery Be Charged?

Motorcycle battery charging time should not be less than eight hours, nor should it exceed twelve hours. Here is some extended information about the role of motorcycle batteries: 1. When the engine is not started: The battery supplies power to the electrical equipment on the motorcycle. 2. When starting the engine: The starter, ignition system, and fuel supply system all require electricity to operate. 3. After the engine is started: The generator operates, and the battery no longer needs to supply power to the electrical equipment on the motorcycle. Instead, the generator supplies power to the electrical equipment and also charges the battery.
