What Items Should Be Added to a New Car?
2 Answers
New cars require the addition of essential items such as a dash cam, parking sensors, fire extinguisher, odor-absorbing charcoal bags, and child safety seats. Depending on personal needs, you may also consider installing seat covers, paint sealant, or mud flaps. If it's a learner's vehicle, ensure to display a "Learner" sticker. Below are some important precautions for driving a new car: 1. Avoid maintaining the same speed and gear for extended periods. Instead, use gears appropriately to allow even wear across all gears. 2. Avoid sudden braking, as it strains the engine and affects the braking system. Also, refrain from long-distance driving. 3. If time permits, warm up the engine before driving to ensure proper lubrication. Wait until the engine idle stabilizes and the coolant temperature reaches normal levels before setting off. 4. Initially, avoid overloading the car—keep the load below 80% of the maximum capacity to reduce strain on the engine.
When I first bought my new car, I felt that just having the car wasn't enough—I needed to add some practical accessories to protect it and prioritize safety. I recommend installing a dashcam to record the driving process and avoid disputes in case of accidents. Floor mats and trunk mats are essential for protecting the original carpet and extending its lifespan. Equip your car with a first aid kit and a small fire extinguisher; keep them in the trunk for emergencies. Don't forget a child safety seat, especially for families with young kids. New cars tend to get dirty easily, so invest in a leather cleaning spray and non-slip mats to keep things tidy. These are small expenses that significantly boost peace of mind and help avoid costly repairs later on.
