Generally, when a new car arrives at a 4S dealership, the mileage will not show as 0 kilometers. This is because after the car rolls off the production line, the manufacturer will have professionals conduct test drives and evaluations to identify any issues promptly. Additionally, during transportation from the manufacturer to the dealership, the new car will undergo some movement. Inspect the car body: Check for scratches or wear on the paint, preferably under ample sunlight to detect any color discrepancies. Check the vehicle identification plate: The car's identification plate is located on the side of the driver's door or inside the engine compartment. Pay attention to the manufacturing date. Check the windshield: If the windshield glass is a year or more older than the car's production date, it may have been replaced. Check the engine compartment for cleanliness: If the car has been stored for a long time or used, there may be noticeable dust or stains in certain areas. Check the doors: Ensure the doors open and close smoothly, and that the gaps between the doors and the front and rear bumpers are consistent.

How to Open the Ford Trunk?

There are two ways to open the trunk of a Ford vehicle: 1. Use the bottom button on the original car key when the vehicle is locked. 2. Manually pull the trunk latch when the vehicle is unlocked. A trunk mat can be used to enhance comfort and improve the user experience. Additional information: Trunk hooks: Many cars now come with hooks in the trunk, but these small items are often overlooked. They can be used to hang small, loose items, which not only saves space but also prevents them from spilling out during sudden braking. Of course, if your car doesn't have them, you can DIY a few yourself.

Where is the Car Heater Switch Located?

The car heater switch is located in the central console area in front of the driver's seat. The button is marked with a thermometer symbol, usually distributed on both sides—one side is blue, and the other is red. Red indicates heating, while blue indicates cooling. In other words, red raises the temperature, and blue lowers it. The car air conditioning system refers to the air conditioning device installed in the vehicle, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers. It helps reduce driver fatigue and improves driving safety. Generally, it includes a cooling device, heating device, and ventilation system.

What to Do When There's a Bad Smell When Turning on the Car Air Conditioner?

Solutions for bad smells when turning on the car air conditioner include: 1. Replace the air filter: The air filter is often overlooked.

In this case, an air duct cleaner is needed. The car air conditioner is an air conditioning device installed in the car, capable of cooling, heating, ventilating, and purifying the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety.
