Why does my brand-new car have a burnt smell?

[Carol]

It's the smell emitted by plastic components when heated. It will naturally disappear after driving a few hundred kilometers. For more information on using a new car: 1. After purchasing a new car: It's best to have the interior tested for harmful substances by a qualified health department. 2. Ventilation: Open windows and doors frequently to allow harmful gases to dissipate. Note that it's best not to ventilate in heavy traffic or during congestion, as the concentration of harmful gases in vehicle exhaust is very high at these times. 3. Odors in the car: A noticeable odor indicates a high concentration of harmful gases inside the car. Try to wait until the smell fades or disappears before regular use. High-risk groups susceptible to harmful gases in the car, such as the elderly, children, pregnant women, and individuals with respiratory or cardiovascular diseases, should minimize or avoid riding in new cars. If you experience symptoms like blurred vision, throat discomfort, nasal inflammation, chest tightness, or frequent coughing after driving a new car, pay attention and seek medical advice promptly to determine if it's related to in-car pollution.
