What do I need to pay attention to when picking up a new car? (above).

Buying a car is a big event in our lives. When we picked up the car, we were both excited and nervous. We wanted to go for a ride by car.

However, this is the most taboo. Just like buying a car, we need to patiently and meticulously check and identify whether the appearance and configuration of the car are different. Just this time, a colleague picked up the Jaguar e-pace P200s and let us take a look at his pick-up process.

After reading it, you can make your car collection easier and smoother.

1. Preparation.

When you go to pick up your car, you need to prepare relevant materials, such as a prepayment receipt, reservation contract, ID card, driver's license, etc., and most importantly, a bank card.

2. Routine inspection.

Check the appearance. After getting the car, drive the car to a place with sufficient light source, first go around the car, and check whether the appearance is intact, because the vehicle may be bumped during transportation, especially the front bumper is easy to scratch; Make sure it's the color we want, and there is no color difference.

Check the frame number.

That is, the VIN code of the car is usually fixed on the left side of the dashboard and the bottom left of the front windshield. Some unscrupulous merchants will take advantage of our ignorance to make sure that the "ID card" of the car is the same as we have set it up.

Check the vehicle nameplate.

The vehicle nameplate is usually affixed to the B-pillar on the engine compartment or passenger side to check the date of manufacture of said vehicle. In general, the time from factory to sale is about 3 months. If the time interval is too long, you can buy a current car.

Check the tires. Each tire has its own production date. If you look closely, you'll see that the tabs are displayed at the end. For example, 3318 indicates that the tire was manufactured in the 33rd week of 2018.

If the production date is later than the production date of the car, the tires can be secretly replaced, and the production cycle of the four tires is basically the same, and the interval is not too long.

Check the engine compartment.

The engine compartment is a must-check. Mainly check the engine compartment for oil stains or obvious oil leaks.

Inspect the internal parts.

Check the interior and dashboard for visible scratches or dirt, check that the vehicle's mileage is within the normal range; In addition, some functions in the car also need to be carefully tested, such as whether the central control LCD screen is easy to use, whether the air conditioning system is easy to use and normal.

3. Transfer Procedures.

After inspecting our car and confirming that there were no problems, we needed to go through the handover formalities. After paying the money and issuing the invoice, there are some precautions, mainly including: Know the driving area and expiration time of the temporary license plate, and it is best to complete the official registration before the expiration.

Keep the purchase invoice of the 4S store in case you need it. Read your vehicle's PDI test report to make sure there are no missing items. Check whether the effective date of compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance is the collection date.

What do I need to pay attention to when picking up a new car? (below).

Precautions for picking up the car: 1. Vehicle certificate. The certificate of conformity is another important certificate for the car, and it is also a necessary document for the car to be registered.

Only cars with certificates can meet the national requirements for the quality of motor vehicle equipment and relevant standards. 2. Car purchase invoice. The purchase invoice is the most important proof when buying a car, and it is also one of the documents when the car is registered, so you must ask the dealer for the purchase invoice when buying the car and confirm its validity.

3. Check the nameplate. Check the exhaust volume, date of manufacture, frame number, engine number and other contents on the nameplate, and the number on the certificate must be consistent with the engine number and frame number on the car. 4. Vehicle instruction manual.

The user must use the vehicle reasonably in accordance with the requirements of the vehicle's instruction manual. If the vehicle damage caused by the use is not in accordance with the requirements of the instruction manual, the manufacturer is not responsible for the three guarantees. At the same time, the instruction manual indicates the main technical parameters of the vehicle and the technical data necessary for maintenance and adjustment, which is the reference text when repairing the car.

5. Three packs of service card. According to the relevant regulations, if the car is faulty or damaged due to manufacturing quality problems within a certain time and mileage, you can enjoy the manufacturer's free service with the three-pack service card. However, car wear parts such as light bulbs and rubber are not included.

6. Other documents or attachments. Some vehicle engines have separate instruction manuals, and some vehicles have special requirements or regulations for some optional equipment, so consumers have to ask the dealer for relevant certificates.

Four steps to pick up the car and inspect the car: 1. Look at the appearance. The inspection should be carried out in a well-lit place, and the car must be washed clean, because the local place where the car is stored is often in the open air, and there are simple traces of sun and rain, so the inspection must be properly careful.

2. Occupant space viewing. The dealer said that as soon as he came up, he knew that he was a rookie if he couldn't wait to get into the cockpit and pick up the car, and he was most afraid of the kind of person who didn't enter the cockpit after turning around the car for a while. I don't talk much, but I look at the clarification book to see if all kinds of buttons and switches are useful.

Lights, stereos, air conditioning, seats, seat belts, power windows, etc., are all tested tirelessly.

3. Other important checks. Hearing the sound of the engine from afar can only be based on feeling. The operation method is to start two cars, you stand in the center, the same distance from the two cars, you feel the loud screening, you can turn around and listen again, to avoid the hallucination of different hearing in your ears.

4. Test check. Check on the road, but you can't drive too roughly, because the car is in the run-in period. Acceleration should be gradual, shifting at the mercy of 2000 rpm.

The speed should not be too high (less than 80km h is appropriate). Pay attention to the sound of the starter, feel the sound insulation, and whether it is stable to sit in the car at idle. Whether there is a rule in the sound of the initiator running is still chaotic.

In short, clutter is definitely not wanted.

Check whether the accessories of the car are complete, for example, the 4S shop agrees to install a reversing image and dash cam for you, whether they have installed it, you should check it clearly.

It is best to bring an old driver with a new car, the old driver is more experienced, can help you check it, and the novice driving on the road is also more nervous, and the co-pilot has an old driver is also better.

It is best to follow an experienced driver for a new car, so that it can be helpful in case of emergency. The first thing to pay attention to is the condition of the car and master the driving skills.

You still have to pay attention when picking up the car. The procedures that should be handled must be taken well. Even.

First look at the appearance, whether there is damage or repair marks.

Then see if the odometer number is within a reasonable range.

Listen to the engine sound after driving the car. The gauge is working fine, the lights are working fine.

Drive up and test drive to see if the gear, steering, brakes, and handbrake are normal.

Check whether the frame number of the car is consistent with the contract, and the inconsistency is not on the plate! This one has to be seen clearly.

Look at the production date and three guarantees of the car and whether it is a trial car.

If the documents of the inspection car are incomplete, the contract is not legal.

The easiest way to do this is to bring a veteran with you.

Novices are not familiar with the situation and road conditions of the car when driving, so they must drive carefully and do not crash, after all, they will lose money if they crash someone's car, and their own car is not convenient to drive.

The precautions for new carry-ups include adjusting the sitting position, adjusting the rearview mirror, checking the handbrake before driving, developing the habit of looking at the rearview mirror when driving, not being distracted while driving, and choosing a familiar route. Adjust the sitting posture: novice drivers need to adjust the seat when driving, the seat position of the novice driver is very important, and the appropriate seat position can make it easier to judge the line of sight when driving and ensure driving safety.

When adjusting the seat height, many novice drivers in order to increase the line of sight of driving, adjust the height of the car seat, which is easy to reduce the range of head movement, affect flexibility, when adjusting the front and rear of the seat, you can ensure that the accelerator can be stepped on to the end, and there is also a certain space for the legs, so that the adjustment can avoid causing injury to the knee when braking. Adjust the rearview mirror: the rearview mirror adjustment is very important when driving, observe the body through the car rearview mirror, the area of the body should not exceed 1 4 of the mirror image as much as possible, and the reasonable adjustment of the rearview mirror can better grasp the traffic situation when driving, and avoid potential safety hazards due to sight problems.

Check the handbrake before driving: the car handbrake is a detail that many novice drivers tend to forget, before starting the vehicle, you need to check the handbrake, and the handbrake will cause great damage to the brake pads when driving. Driving should develop the habit of looking in the rearview mirror:

When a novice driver is driving, it is easy to ignore the car rearview mirror, be sure to judge the situation around the car through the rearview mirror, there are also many novice drivers who pay more attention to the left rear rearview mirror when driving, and the right rearview mirror may be ignored, which is a detail that novice drivers need to pay attention to when driving. Don't be distracted when driving: generally when driving, don't be distracted, concentrate, to ensure the safety of driving, many novice drivers when driving, too nervous to cause potential safety hazards when driving, it is recommended that novice drivers adjust their mentality when driving.

Choose a familiar route: In order to be able to better control the vehicle while driving, try to choose the road you are familiar with, so that you can save time looking for the road, and the novice driver can put more energy into driving.

Check the shock absorber, suspension and other working conditions, you can use your hand to vigorously press the corner of the body, after loosening, see the number of times it bounces, between 2 and 3 times as well. If possible, it is best to go up to the bench and take a look at the site. Check the engine compartment and the bottom edge of the car for patch marks in case you buy an accident refurbished car.

X0D X0A checks whether the car matches its nameplate: engine number, frame number, product certificate and factory date. The number on the certificate should be consistent with the engine number and frame number on the car.

Determine whether it is a backlog car from the factory date and know the time from production to sales. In addition, the model, power, number of seats, engine, etc., are required to be consistent with the actual product. X0D X0A test run to understand the performance:

Slow the gas pedal, gently lift the clutch, and the vehicle should start smoothly. Shifting gears in a new car may not be smooth, but you shouldn't get stuck, can't hang or take off, or the gears rattle. Gently apply the brakes at low speed to test the braking strength, and the braking response should be good.

You can also try sliding in neutral**, for example, at a speed of 20 km h, you can slide 50 to 80 meters on a flat road. If the car stops quickly as soon as it takes off gear, it indicates that the driving parts are not properly installed, debugged and lubricated, such as overtight bearings, brake scratches or lubricating oil solidification. X0D X0A3, when you encounter the upper and lower overpasses during the test, you can feel the acceleration and power; By increasing and decreasing gears, tap the steering wheel lightly to feel whether the steering system is satisfied; The direction should not deviate during normal driving, and it can automatically maintain straight driving, and can basically return to normal after turning (90%); The vehicle turns around, and the wheels should not make abnormal noises when the left and right steering reaches the limit.

1. For some imported high-end cars, the quality is relatively stable, and the importance of picking is not so obvious. However, for some domestically produced low-end cars, there are many differences in the assembly process, so careful selection becomes very important.

2. Start from the appearance, carefully check whether the paint surface is dull or trachoma from beginning to end, whether the paint color of the whole vehicle is uniform, whether the lines of the body are smooth, and any small flaws that are inadvertently missed may cause permanent regrets in the future. Then sit in the cab to check whether the instruments, lights, and seat adjustments are normal, open the engine compartment cover, and observe whether the wires and pipelines in the room are tidy. If the engine compartment is dirty, it means that the car has been parked in stock for a long time, and it is better to choose another vehicle, and finally it is necessary to start the vehicle and carry out dynamic detection.

3. If the engine shakes very badly or the vehicle is difficult to start, you must choose carefully, some black-hearted car dealers will explain that this is because the vehicle has been parked here for too long, and it will start when the engine is hot. Generally, a new car that has been parked for a long time will indeed have some difficulty in starting, but it will definitely not be very serious, and once it is started within a minute or two, it should return to stability, but the idle speed is high. The starting bench of the hot car should be smooth, rhythmic and powerful, and the valve and other parts should not have any abnormal noise.

4. If dynamic test is allowed, you can slow down for a while in gear, check whether each gear is clear, and the gear should be easy. The clutch pedal has moderate force, should not be jerky, and the fit point is clear. Then there is the battery, some domestic cars and new cars are not in good condition, on the one hand, it may be that the generator is not good, and on the other hand, the battery itself may be bad.

The car with the charging indicator can be analyzed by the instrument, and the car without the indicator can be used to start the car several times, and then start the car test after two hours late. If the vehicle can be started smoothly, it means that the battery is in good working condition, otherwise, it is likely that there is a problem with the battery or generator. So as long as you master these above tips, the existing problems can be avoided when picking up the car, saving you the trouble of driving home.
