New cars must be prepared, otherwise there will be safety hazards

Although the vehicle is purchased according to our needs, whether we buy a new car or a used car, we must remember that the vehicle must be prepared. So what kind of preparation work should be done when a new car arrives, and what are the considerations?

1. Check the tire pressure: adjust to suit the working conditions

Adjust the tire pressure to the appropriate pressure range according to your actual working conditions. For example, in summer, the vehicle is not heavy, and the front and rear wheel pressure of the vehicle can be filled to 9 atmospheres.

Of course, if you don't know what the appropriate tire pressure is for your vehicle, you can refer to the suggested tire pressure mark at the position of the vehicle's door panel pillars.

In addition to filling the tire pressure, another important function of checking the tire pressure is to see if the tire is damaged or leaked. Although they are all steel tires and tubeless tires, the quality and durability are very high, but they are not omnipotent. Once the vehicle is fully loaded and driven at high speed, if there is a problem with the tire at this time, the consequences are unimaginable. This is the reason why you should check your tires before you leave the car.

 2. Grease: to further ensure that the relevant parts of the vehicle are fully lubricated

There are two reasons. First, we don't know how long the car has been parked before it is sold, and whether the body is rusted. The second is that even though many vehicles are now designed with maintenance-free and long oil changes, it is impossible to use this technology for so many parts on the vehicle that need to be lubricated.

Which positions need lubrication? The position of the universal joint of the drive shaft, the link position with the gearbox and the rear axle; the position of the rotation and sliding between the brake drum and the connecting rod; the fixed position of the plate spring shock absorption and the frame, etc.

3. Check the oil: mainly the engine, brake and other components

For a finished vehicle that has already been sold, many truckers feel that checking the fluid in a new vehicle is unnecessary, but checking can give us a better overview of the vehicle's condition. If you find that the vehicle's fluid level is low or has other conditions, communicate with your dealer and go to a regular factory authorized service station for repairs.

4. check the body accessories: check for loose, cracked and other phenomena

There are many accessories on both sides of the truck chassis, such as fuel tanks, urea tanks, batteries, air handling units, etc. The integrity of these components is very important to our driving safety.

5. check the whole vehicle lighting configuration function

The inspection of the whole vehicle lighting and configuration is mainly to see whether it can be used normally and whether the functions are normal.

6. Prepare the on-board tools

Now with the upgrade of technology, the car is more durable and a full set of tools and accessories are not needed. After all, in some long-distance travel, it is still necessary to carry basic common tools.

● Afterwords

Vehicle preparation is not only to check the vehicle problems, but also to make the vehicle more suitable for our own actual working conditions through preparation, and most importantly, it is also an important process for us to further familiarize and know the vehicle.
