With the rapid development of technology today, there are countless automotive configurations that can be used to improve comfort and safety! But this also makes it difficult for many car buyers who are buying a car for the first time. On the one hand, they have to consider their own budget, and on the other hand, they don’t know much about the configuration and don’t know how to choose.
In fact, in addition to some basic configurations that come with vehicles (such as tire pressure monitoring, front airbags, etc.), car friends only need to choose some practical configurations for . Let’s take a look at some of the necessary configurations for buying a new car for your reference.
Configuration 1: Blind Spot Monitoring and Early Warning System
Necessary degree: ★★★★★★
In recent years, more and more vehicles on the road have become congested. Drive under such road conditions, even veteran drivers often worry about scratch accidents because there is a visual blind spot in and cannot accurately determine whether there are vehicles on the side or behind. At this time, the blind spot monitoring and early warning system is very practical.
This system is activated when the vehicle speed exceeds 10km/h. Through the camera or side radar , vehicles on the side and rear range are monitored in real time, and vehicles or pedestrians such as motorcycles, cars, trailers, trolley tram , agricultural transport vehicles, etc. In other words, as long as this system is equipped, can effectively prevent collisions with vehicles or pedestrians in blind spots during lane change.
Configuration 2: Side airbag (air curtain)
Necessary degree: ★★★★★★
At present, most models on sale on the market have long been equipped with front airbags, but the airbags and air curtains on the side of the car rarely attract the attention of car friends.
Little do you know that without the protection of the side airbag air curtain, when the vehicle crashes and rolls over, the head of the occupants will not be effectively protected, thereby increasing the possibility of casualties. Therefore, for the safety of yourself and your family, try to configure it as much as possible!
Configuration 3: ESP body electronic stability system
Necessary degree: ★★★★
Different automobile manufacturers call this system slightly differently, such as ESCh and VSA refer to it. Its function is that when an emergency occurs, it can effectively brake one side of the tire, and corrects the body posture of sliding or tail-swinging to help car owners better control the car. For example, driving on rainy days can prevent slipping after turning on.
Although there are no hard requirements for ESP in China, in Europe, it has been raised to the legal level, which shows its importance. Therefore, it is recommended that when choosing a car, try to choose and , which is equipped with ESP, as standard in the entire series.
Configuration 4: Reverse radar + image
Necessary degree: ★★★★
Now, in order to save costs, the entry-level version often saves the most basic configuration of the reversing radar.
As the most important configuration when reversing, the reversing radar can remind the owner of the car's owner by issuing a warning sound, , and effectively avoid scratches and collisions. If you are paired with the reversing images that can accurately grasp the road conditions in the rear, even a novice can make you reversing as freely and confidently as if you are moving forward.
Configuration 5: Child seat interface
Necessary degree: ★★★★
Most young people don’t care much about this configuration when buying a car, and always feel that their children are still far away from themselves. The fact is that for most people, a car has to be driven for at least three or four years, or even seven or eight years.So, why don’t we plan ahead and choose someone with a child’s safety interface in advance?
For car owners who already have children at home, they should also purchase safety seats in advance based on the age of 's child (0-12 years old) or height (under 1.45 meters) before picking up the car.
Configuration 6: Cruise speed
Necessary degree: ★★★
When running highways, step on the accelerator for a long time, and the road scenery is similar, the driver is easily tired, which leads to slow reactions and induces some accidents.
But if the vehicle is equipped with a cruise control speed, then only needs to adjust the specific value according to the required speed of the road, such as the speed limit of 90km/h, set it to 85km/h, press the start button, and there is no need to step on the accelerator, the vehicle will also drive at the set speed, easily slowing down driving fatigue. When you want to slow down, press the brake pedal to automatically release the cruise control speed.
The above configurations are recommended because they can improve the safety of the vehicle. There are also some configurations similar to electric seats, audio, etc. that improve the driving experience. You can watch it later, or buy related supplies online to improve it, such as buying waist pads, car audio, etc.
