Considerations when buying a car include choosing the right timing, making multiple comparisons, paying attention to vehicle inspection, collecting information, etc. Choosing the right timing: Generally, it is advisable to choose the off-season, as cars during this period will have varying degrees of price reductions. Typically, this occurs in March-April and August-September. Additionally, before new models are launched, the prices and discounts for older models tend to be more substantial. Making multiple comparisons: Look for places to buy cars, such as 4S dealerships, auto shows, etc. Visit several places and compare prices. Be sure to thoroughly inspect the car, including checking the paint, exterior for any cracks, ensuring all functions are working properly, listening for any unusual noises when starting the engine, and testing for any abnormalities while driving. Always bring invoices, certificates of conformity, and other necessary documents, and keep them safe.

What does vehicle CBS mean?

Vehicle CBS refers to the Combined Braking System. The CBS braking system allows simultaneous braking of both front and rear wheels with a single hand or foot operation. By rationally distributing the braking force between the front and rear wheels, it achieves higher braking efficiency, resulting in greater braking deceleration, reduced braking distance, and ensures safe, prompt, and smooth stopping for high-speed vehicles. Brake pad replacement method: 1. Open the engine compartment to check the brake fluid level to prevent overflow during replacement; 2. Remove the wheel where the brake is located; 3. Remove the brake caliper bolts and take out the brake pads; 4. Install new brake pads, tighten the guide bolts, and complete the replacement.

Is it better to change tires at a 4S shop or an external repair shop?

Changing tires can be done at either a 4S shop or an external repair shop. Generally, 4S shops only provide original equipment (OE) tires, so you can purchase original tires there. On the other hand, repair shops usually offer more affordable prices. Whether you choose a 4S shop or a repair shop, it's important to be cautious when selecting tires for replacement. It's best to choose a highly reputable shop to avoid unnecessary losses. When replacing tires, it's advisable to use the same type of tire. The specifications of a car's tubeless tire include not only size parameters but also usage parameters, which indicate the tire's maximum safe speed and load capacity through codes. For example, a tubeless tire marked as P165/70R14 81T means: P indicates it's a passenger car tire, with a tread width of 165mm, an aspect ratio of 70, radial construction (R), a rim diameter of 14 inches, a maximum load capacity of 462 kg (code 81), and a maximum safe speed of 190 km/h (code T). When selecting tires, it's also important to avoid mixing different types of tires. For instance, do not combine tires suitable for off-road vehicles with those for regular cars, or mix directional sports car tires with standard tires.
